The documentary follows a team of art historians who over the course of five years travelled the world, visiting museums such as The Louvre, The Prado and the National Gallery of Art in Washington to make an in-depth analysis of Bosch's remaining 25 paintings. By using modern techniques, such as X-ray, infrared photography, and multi-spectrum analysis, they allow us to penetrate into the deeper layers of his paintings thus helping the audience to look at the works of Bosch with new eyes. The research raises the question whether all works are really painted by Bosch. The museum world is waiting anxiously for the results. (Moscow International Film Festival)
