Storyline

Amsterdam, 1665. Rembrandt's offspring looks back at the family's tormented life, because of his refusal to sacrifice art to profit in poverty after his first wife's death. His only two surviving children became cheap models, yet enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with him. Son Titus lacked father's artistic skill, but was a charming gentleman who quickly married well, had a family of his own but succumbed to disease. In order to preserve his inheritance, Rembrandt couldn't remarry so his daughter Cornelia remained a bastard. Her Platonic relationship with shy patrician nerd Jan Swammerdam was sacrificed to stay with otherwise lonely father.
