De Rooy, queer and 'of color', is seen as a pioneer. The first in the Dutch Kingdom to speak freely through his art about what it means to be queer and Caribbean. In a documentary that combines past and present, the maker searches for the motivations of this limitless artist with an endless urge to create, but is confronted with the unpredictability of his life. Felix suffers a cerebral infarction and has to reorganize his life. What does it mean that the most important thing in his life, creating art, is no longer possible?
