Spoilers ahead
The twenty-year standstill in the career of Pieter, Pierre Bokma, an openly gay art historian who works as an archivist for a small municipality, has left him largely invisible to his colleagues. On his birthday, as a petty act of “revenge” against a world that ignores him, he keeps taking one painting from the depot in the cellar. The routine is challenged when Brest, his boss’s boss, Eric Schneider, invites Vermeulen, Genio de Groot, out for a meal and hints at a potential turn for Pieter—yet the conversation quickly pivots to a crisis: Pieter must return the eight paintings by Van Goppels who died recently, paintings that suddenly hold a great deal of value.
