Love and revenge lie at the bottom of one of the biggest art scandals of last century. Han van Meegeren throws dust in the eyes of the art world with his perfect forgeries.
When the gifted artist Han van Meegeren falls in love with the wife of Holland’s most prominent art critic of the 1920s, he has made a powerful enemy who ruins his career. At his wits’ end, Van Meegeren decides to take revenge. He will produce a perfect fake Vermeer that the art world will label as genuine. But when Nazi bigwig Hermann Göring is looking for a Vermeer for his private collection, the web of lies and deceit closes in around Van Meegeren ever further. Based on true events.
