Description

Behind the ornate doors of 30, rue du Métal in Brussels, twenty students embark on an apprenticeship in decorative painting. This art form, known for its secrets and stories hidden within every knot and vein, becomes the catalyst for a year-long journey of discovery. As they learn to reproduce materials in paint, their experiences - long hours in the studio, late nights, conversations, arguments, parties, and romances - forge an unbreakable bond among them. For one student, this art form takes her on a path that transcends time, from her own childhood memories to ancient formations, film sets, and prehistoric caves. Through its atmospheric and aesthetic portrayal of love, art, and craftsmanship, this novel reveals the inner world of its protagonist, uncovering secret desires and the depths of human connection.
