The project is about Danish painter Jens Juel and how he brought unique creative knowledge with him back to Funen. The project is part of an exhibition and film workshop targeting kids.

Juel traveled for more than 25 years visiting many European countries to explore art. When he meet the paintings of the old masters like Rembrandt, it transformed him profoundly. This new knowledge, shown in the film as a light, he then brought back to Denmark. Juel was a traveller and a workaholic. He created more than 1100 artworks, one being his self portrait, the perfect selfie. The film tell this story of personal defeat and profound change, through emotions, music and colors.
