SYNOPSIS

Portrait of four assistants of the Dutch artist Rob Scholte: with ambiguous feelings, Gonzalo, Paul, Kees and Sasha show their craft in working with someone else’s art, neglecting their own. If in Rembrandt's time assistants were disciples, nowadays they’re employees in a system where the author is the boss.
