New York City
Pablo Picasso has been summoned to a storage vault for an interrogation by a beautiful German occupation officer whose mission is to discover which of the three Picasso paintings recently “confiscated” by the Nazis from their Jewish owners are real. The ministry of propaganda has planned an exhibit, and only the great artist himself can attest to their authenticity. At first Picasso agrees to confirm which of the three pictures is his own but when he learns that the “exhibition” is actually a burning of “degenerate art,” he becomes desperate to save his work and engages in a pressurized negotiation.
