A little piece of heaven (Scherven van de hemel)

A pupil is confronted with his master’s perfect painting. Many people come to see it. A rich salesman, a noble lady, a high-priest and even the emperor come to have a look at the painting. They all want to buy it. At night the moon goddess descends from the heavens. She whispers in the painter’s ear: ‘Your work is done. Come with me.’ In the morning the painter knows what to do…

An enthralling tale about striving for perfection and about the bond between a pupil and a master.
