Auctioneer and modern art appraiser André lives, breathes, and sleeps his work. An expert in his field, he knows how to spot and close substantial deals with hefty payouts. That is, until he discovers a genuine Egon Schiele painting that was thought to be lost for nearly 70 years. Initially doubting its authenticity, André investigates the painting’s origins, learning that it was owned by a wealthy Austrian-Jewish collector before being looted by the Nazis. Presenting the chance to significantly boost his career, André races to close a deal on the painting, but faces professional and personal challenges along the way that compel him to reflect on his place in the fast-paced, cutthroat world of high art and finance.
