The film follows a team of Bosch experts for four years who traveled the world to examine all the known Bosch paintings.

For the first time we will be able to see behind the varnish, to penetrate into his paintings and to unveil the so far unseen creative process. At the same time this is also the first vast investigation and search for lost Bosch paintings. On February 1st it was announced that a new Bosch painting has been discovered in the United States.
