During the restoration of a 17th-century painting in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Japanese-Dutch Cornelia van Nijenrode steps out of her frame and into the 21st century. She challenges Indonesian Kirana Diah, who is restoring the painting, to a nocturnal conversation about untamability and the decolonization of the gaze. The confrontation is sharpened by their own histories, which differ radically from each other but also show startling similarities.
