The story

In a world where million-pound canvases trade hands like poker chips, two ambitious art dealers stumble upon what could be a genuine Da Vinci, or a very expensive fake. As they juggle power games, champagne-soaked sales pitches, and romantic entanglements, the line between masterpiece and money laundering blurs. But when the stakes rise, so does the danger. Who’s really pulling the strings?

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
