Miossi was taken by the idea of such a wild, exuberant performer spending time in front of much smaller, quieter audiences. He tracked Goldrainer down after the festival and learned that the singer lived in a house behind his own. “He just walked through my back yard, and he was at my front door in, like, five minutes,” the filmmaker said. Before long, Miossi attended his first Goldie show, as Goldrainer’s nursing home performances are known.
