SYNOPSIS This documentary thriller offers an exclusive look at the complex antique art market, focusing on the rediscovery of a lost painting by Caravaggio, a so-called
Sleeper. The painting, which had been hanging for years in the living room of a Madrid family, was put up for auction for only 1,500 euros. After being recognized by several experts and art dealers, an intense race was unleashed to acquire it.
