- Standy Painter tells the story of Robert Z., a man who stole a painting from a museum in Poland and replaced it with a replica. By the use of archive footage, new paintings and interviews, Slabbinck and co-director Amir Yatziv create a reality with many facets: from a mischievous copy to a search for truth.
- An almost deserted museum, a guard wearing high heels, a cinephile thief and a Monet painting. In September 2000, Robert Z. was given permission by the National Museum in Poznan, Poland, to make a replica of Monet's painting 'Beach in Pourville'. He was allowed to work in the quiet museum, which had no operational security cameras and was almost deserted on weekdays. Only one female guard was around, who every now and then inadvertently alerted Robert by the click-clack sound of her shoes. When he completed the task he came for, he returned home. Only days later did the truth finally dawn on the museum staff. In this revealing story, Robert himself confesses about the events and consequences of that fateful day in the museum.
