Dutch Golden Age still life paintings depict seductive wonders brought back by European explorers, traders and exploiters at a tremendous cost. The era was characterized by an explosive expansion of globalization, colonialism, the dawn of merchant capitalism and consumerist addiction. These animated paintings draw a line from that moment to the environmental crisis of our time.

Seduced into the decadent world of Lord Henry Wotton, handsome young aristocrat Dorian Gray becomes obsessed with maintaining his youthful appearance, and commissions a special portrait that will weather the winds of time while he remains forever young. When Gray's obsession spirals out of control, his desperate attempts to safeguard his secret turn his once-privileged life into a living hell.

A soldier and member of the Dutch resistance investigates stolen art in the wake of the Second World War, including a Vermeer sold to the Nazis by a flamboyant forger.
