Disko hori, ordea, egilea txiki-txiki eginda zegoenean grabatutakoa da. Albumari zein sortzaileari berari buruzko istorioa da hau, eta jakin beharreko guztia dago bertan jasota. Besteak beste, Oldfielden familia, nerabezaroa, Kevin Ayers Bandetik igaro zenekoa, "garratz izateak ekarri zizkionak", Terry Riley eta errepikapenaren espiritua.

Oldfield's life is full of highs and lows. And at the heart of it all: Tubular Bells, one of the greatest super-sellers of all time, an album recorded – no less – when its author was in pieces. This is the story of the album and its creator, and it will bestow all you wish to know. Here you'll find Oldfield's family, his adolescence, his time in the Kevin Ayers Band, his "bad acid trips", Terry Riley and the spirit of repetition. Then arrives Tubular Bells, something that still can't be put into words. Oldfield orders dozens of instruments. Upon hearing the finished master, Richard Branson, exclaims "But he doesn't sing!". It all explodes from there, but Oldfield can only mumble deliriously in interviews. In this film, we discover crucial details like the cover, the letter type and how he chose them. We see what could rocket Tubular Bells even higher sales-wise: the use of a fragment of the LP in the soundtrack to The Exorcist (1973). Oldfield tells all here, his spiritual "rebirth" and from there to his recent risorgimento in the inauguration of the 2012 Olympics.
