The film is centred on the creation of The Night Watch, Rembrandt's most famous work, depicting civilian militiamen who wanted to be celebrated in a group portrait. The film posits a conspiracy to murder within the musketeer regiment of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch, and suggests that Rembrandt may have immortalized a conspiracy theory using subtle allegory in his group portrait of the regiment, subverting what was to have been a highly prestigious commission for both painter and subject.

Actors Carla Juri, Emun Elliott, Remo Girone

Le film est consacré au périple d’un jeune artiste de 26/27 ans appelé à devenir célèbre, Constantin Brâncuși, voyageant à travers l'Europe. Il part de la Roumanie où il est né et où il a commencé à étudier les beaux-arts, jusqu’à Paris où il souhaite approfondir cette formation. Ce voyage est un fait réel, effectué à pied sur 2 500 kilomètres, à travers l’Europe au début du XX siècle. Il a duré 18 mois. Pour autant, le détail de cette aventure est resté inconnu. Peter Greenaway a construit une fiction cinématographique à partir de ce voyage, et imagine des péripéties comiques ou violentes, quelquefois sexuelles et quelquefois romantiques. La pérégrination ainsi reconstituée est également jalonnée d’édification de sculptures avec les matériaux trouvés chemin faisant

Mr. Neville (Anthony Higgins), a young and arrogant artist and something of a Byronic hero, is contracted to produce a series of 12 landscape drawings of an estate, by Mrs. Virginia Herbert (Janet Suzman) for her absent and estranged husband. Part of the contract is that Mrs. Herbert agrees "to meet Mr. Neville in private and to comply with his requests concerning his pleasure with me." Several sexual encounters between them follow, each of them acted in such a way as to emphasise reluctance or distress on the part of Mrs Herbert and sexual aggression or insensitivity on the part of Mr Neville. Whilst living on the estate, Mr. Neville gains quite a reputation with its dwellers, especially with Mrs. Herbert's son-in-law, Mr.
