The Sleeper. El Caravaggio perdido

When the Pérez de Castro family prepares to move, they ask an auction house to sell a painting that had hung in their home for years. The house values it at €1,500, but when art dealers catch a glimpse, a new theory arises: the work may be a lost painting by Renaissance genius Caravaggio. What follows is a race among art dealers, Baroque experts, and art hunters eager to witness, and claim, the marvel. The price soon soars into nine figures. This film explores the forces driving the art market and its complex mix of passion, identity, and economics.
