The art dealer Kleber is on the verge of ruin due to his wife's excessive spending. One day, when a stranger offers him an authentic Gauguin, Kleber tries to buy it at the lowest price. The seller is a swindler, and the two men team up to set up a traffic in fake paintings. They will have to use a radical method to silence the remorse of the failed painter who has participated in the operation.—Mahou 5 star
