Not really following any standard plot structure, the film mostly consists of poet L.D. Groban reciting his own poem of 4,080 pages, inter-spliced with X-rated film footage and rock music videos.
Richard Madden shares why this was the role for him, and what he swiped from the "Game of Thrones" set.
