A picture from the triptych of the troubles of painter Honza and his two kittens. Honza paints every possible thing for the kittens but they do not find anything good enough. Honza goes to the cinema and the kittens decide to paint themselves a fancy feast. The problem is that they cannot paint and only use up all the colours. When Honza comes back from the cinema he finds the kittens sad and hungry. He cannot do any miracles with the colours that remained but the kittens are happy to have at least something to eat. Well, hunger is the best sauce.
