Plot

A male nurse steals some of one of his patient's drawings and makes money with them.

Sinekatalog’s take

A sly comedy about a nurse who steals a patient's drawings and finds a profitable path in other people's talent. It uses the art world's pretensions for sharp jokes, with a dark undertone. Entertaining if you like satire about authenticity and ego.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
