A PICASSO

Paris, 1941. Pablo Picasso has been summoned for interrogation by Miss Fischer, a mysterious Nazi official. In a subterranean storage vault across the city, Picasso is shown 3 self-portraits and asked to verify their authenticity. The Germans are planning an “exhibition.” When Picasso discovers the dark purpose of the exhibition he must fight to save his paintings. A cat-and-mouse drama follows about art, politics, sex and love, with a twist at its climax.

“Artful, remarkable and genuinely dramatic, with impressive sensitivity and wit.” – New York Daily News
