In this meticulously crafted drama, a modern art appraiser with a sharp eye and an unflaggingly cool demeanor. One day André’s carefully curated and ordered life is unexpectedly disrupted when a provincial lawyer contacts him about a young working-class client who may have acquired a work of art long thought to be lost during World War II. With tempered expectations, André and his fickle assistant travel to the suburbs to meet Martin, a chemical plant worker, and appraise the artwork. Their skepticism quickly gives way to astonishment when they confirm that the painting is indeed authentic—an Egon Schiele masterpiece that vanished during World War II after being stolen by Nazi officials. This discovery could be the defining moment of André’s career, but it also raises profound questions about moral obligations and ethics in the high-stakes world of art, where money and power often reign supreme.
