In an empty room, a chair and an easel appear. One by one, paintings and drawings are composed on the easel, slip off, and slide up the walls. Coats and a coat rack appear.

Hes, an uptight and disaffected social worker reaching retirement, discovers a young woman, Anna, in the closet of an acquaintance who has committed suicide. Realizing that she has been kept in the apartment all her life, he moves in and helps her comes to terms with the complexities of the real world.

Filmmaker Maarten Koopman‘s animated series of famous paintings, imagined piece by piece from some new perspectives.

When everybody is asleep at night, the objects in the cabinet make music. A meddlesome cat is the last thing they need.

Animation film shows the cinema screen as a trampoline on which people and animals are frolicking. From under the trampoline pad, we watch their capers in amusement, until things take an unexpected turn.

Dawn and nature awake. The sun rises higher and higher, spreading its light over the modern world, getting hotter and hotter and hotter ...
