The Hidden Legacy of the Van Lymborch-Maelwael Family
Two teenagers are vlogging about the Middle Ages in a museum cellar. Suddenly, bizarre things start happening. Greta Van Lymborch appears and recounts how her brothers had to make miniatures for the French nobility in Paris in 1398. The boys' fame and fortune have a dark side. And not just for the Van Lymborch-Maelwael family, because suddenly one of the vloggers has vanished without a trace…
What is it like to break free from your parents and surroundings, from expectations, the shadow of others, and sometimes even from your own dreams?
“It is fantastic that young people in particular are being involved in the most fascinating, and sometimes still unknown, stories of the Van Lymborch brothers.
A story for the city to be proud of.”
