Synopsis
In 2005, famous designer and architect Maarten van Severen dies. He left us with one of the most extraordinary collections of furniture and several exquisite architectural projects, but also 4 young sons who carry part of their father’s talent and personality. While we follow the boys’ steps towards a promising future, we reconstruct the tumultuous life of their father. When his sons get confronted with some of the same challenges and problems as their father, history seams to repeat itself.
