Bakersfield Mist

Maude Gutman, an unemployed bartender living in a trailer park, believes the painting she bought in a thrift store for three bucks is a Jackson Pollock, an undiscovered masterpiece worth millions. Is it real or a fake? When Lionel Percy, a renowned art expert from New York, arrives at Maude’s trailer to evaluate the painting, the two embark on a fiery debate over class, truth, and what we personally perceive as valuable. Inspired by true events, Bakersfield Mist is a lively and delightful serio-comedy about the meaning of art.
