As the first artist in the Dutch Kingdom freely using his work to explain what it means to be queer and Caribbean, Felix de Rooy broaches some sensitive subjects. Despite the relevance and artistic value of his works, he is not included in the white art scene. This documentaryconfronts viewers with the volatility of life, when Felix suffers a stroke. Next, something surprising happens: As a result of a changing social awareness, young creatives of colour look back and realise on whose shoulders they are standing. And there is a retrospective of De Rooy’s work at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Suddenly, Felix gets the acknowledgement he deserves.
