The son of a single mother with a working-class background has an old painting hanging on his wall that has been there for ages. Could it be the
immeasurably valuable work of the Austrian artist and Gustav Klimt's contemporary Egon Schiele that has been missing since 1939? Directed by French director Pascal Bonitzer, this drama is based on an absolutely incredible true story. How did the painting end up on this family's wall? Who is the rightful owner of the work? What in the world do the Nazis have to do with the artwork? Like detectives, the case begins to be investigated by André Masson (Alex Lutz), a style-savvy expert in modern art, his quick-witted ex-wife Bertina (Léa Drucker), and their clever assistant Aurore (Louise Chevillotte).The case reveals itself to be more peculiar the more it is being investigated.
