Riassunto:

A fascinating portrait of the career of master forger Han van Meegeren describes how this troubled, second-rate painter became a secret star of the art world, thanks to his superlative Vermeer forgeries, whose victims included Hermann G ring, after trading the Nazi leader one of his forgeries for hundreds of looted Dutch paintings.
