Blessed Are Those Who Mourn

In a world where paintings can speak, we follow the story of Heureux Ceux Qui Pleurent, a painting weary of its monotonous life in an art gallery. Frustrated by the endless parade of cliché visitors, the painting dreams of escape and a better existence. Its closest companion is Anna, a divorced mother of two, who has worked at the gallery for over 20 years. With the gallery on the verge of closing, both Anna and the painting face an uncertain future. What will become of them once the gallery doors close for good?
