Love & Mercy
Brian Wilson, la tête pensante des Beach Boys, est un génie créatif. C'est lui a qui a appris les harmonies vocales à ses deux frères Dennis et Carl. Obsédé par les Beatles, il était toujours à la recherche d'un son nouveau et souvent farfelu. Toute sa vie, il a dû se remettre d'une enfance compliquée : son père, alcoolique, Murry Wilson, était une brute qui terrorisait ses trois fils en leur infligeant des châtiments corporels. Depuis, le musicien souffre de troubles schizophréniques. Alors qu'il a sombré plus d'une fois, il trouve du réconfort auprès de Melinda dans les années 1980...
