De Diefte unfolds as a detective thriller in which the sixty-year-old Hubert Verhoeven (Ivan Pecnik), a man without living family, goes in search of his roots. His search leads him to Isabelle Trio (Veerle Van Gussem), the archivist of Wetteren. Through her, Hubert discovers a link to his grandfather Emiel, who was a sexton in the Gertrudiskerk van Wetteren at the time and kept a diary. This diary sheds new light on the stolen panels of Het Lam Gods. Hubert becomes increasingly entangled in the mystery.\r\n\r\nThe denouement is both unexpected and revealing, for some even a confirmation of a suspicion. **Perhaps this fictional story reveals the true history behind a mystery that has persisted for 90 years?**
