Trailer Synopsis The antique art market is an opaque marketplace in which collectors, speculators, art historians, experts and forgers all come together; where interests play as much a role as all the money at stake. Through this documentary “thriller,” we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves exclusively in this hidden world, being exceptional witnesses to the process of bringing back to light the most mediatic and relevant work of the moment: a sleeper by Caravaggio. A painting that remained lost for decades until the Pérez de Castro family, unaware of its value, put it up for sale at an auction house for 1,500 euros.

Teaser Synopsis During the sweltering summertime of rural Spain, Sara carries an extra load of teenage agony due to the perpetual bullying from her peers. She’s also an outsider at home—her parents and little brother just don’t understand her—so, feelings internalized, she’s often found buried in her headphones, drowning out her surroundings. One day, Sara’s usual solo dip at the local pool is disrupted by the presence of a mysterious stranger in the water and an exceptionally grueling bout of abuse at the hands of three girls. But, in a strange twist of fate, along the way home Sara witnesses her bloodied tormentors being kidnapped in the back of the stranger’s van.
