01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Charles Bonnet is well-known as an art collector, but actually he forges paintings to sell them. His daughter, Nicole, disapproves of this, and is also afraid that he may get caught. Charles lends a renowned "Cellini" statuette of Venus to the Kléber-Lafayette Museum in Paris for an important exhibition. He has never sold it because modern testing would reveal it as a forgery (by his father).
