An ex-medical student, now a young artist, works on her sculptures with epoxy and polyurethane in a sculpture workshop. To the camera, she describes her days working in the plastic surgery clinic and hints at why she decided to quit her studies. Her decision is connected to both her first visit to the Old Masters Gallery in Dresden and to a striking conversation she had with an old security guard in the museum’s Caravaggisti room.
