Where does inspiration come from? Why do artists and performers make the kind of work they make? What goes on in their heads while drawing, painting, sculpting, photographing or making music? These are the questions that are central to 'Hoping on the Gods', a documentary that provides a unique insight into twelve Belgian artist lives. Twelve exceptionally talented people who go to work every day in their studio or outside. We see them searching, experimenting, doubting and making decisions.
