Armin van Buuren

An ordinary person, living an extraordinary life. Armin van Buuren, a superstar DJ, lives the life that most of us can only dream of. With a relentless passion for music, the born perfectionist strives to stay on top, dealing with the daily pressure that comes along with it. A Year in the Life of Armin Van Buuren gives you a closer look at the person behind the Dutch DJ. Taking one year out of his roaring life, and a special year it is. This documentary will take you all the way from his home, to the airports, to the private jets, heading for the party. It will show you the loneliness of an empty hotel room and bring you to the heat of the moment, as 100,000 clubbers await their hero. It reveals the perfectionist and the relentless drive inside him, as well as the music addict. From the preparation of his 'Mirage' world tour and the phone call that'll tell him if he'll keep his #1 position in the DJ Mag Top 100, to a tour around the house he grew up in and the radio announcement that he's going to be a father. This is not another 'behind the scenes' documentary. It's Armin van Buuren, in person.

The path to success isn't easy in dance music. This documentary takes an inside look at life as a world-famous DJ, tracing the rise of Dubfire.
