A biopic about the world's most successful living painter. In vivid images, the AI hybrid film explores painting in the tension between creativity, capital, and spirituality – amidst the shift from analog to artificial reproducibility. Gerhard's squeegee technique has sparked global hype. The myth of the "genius" embeds itself as a fairytale homage in the DNA of an increasingly uncontrollable chain of creation.
