A Real Vermeer (2016)

In the roaring 1920s Amsterdam art scene, a gifted maverick named Han van Meegeren defies the norms with his old-world style paintings, reminiscent of his idols Rembrandt and Vermeer. Criticized as a mere copycat, his talents scorned and dismissed, Han's world spirals into chaos. But his passion for art is soon rivaled by his fervent love for Jolanka, the enchanting wife of Holland's most influential art critic. A dangerous liaison that sets him up against a formidable adversary who holds the power to, and does, obliterate his career. In a bold act of defiance and revenge, Han crafts a counterfeit Vermeer, a deception so perfect that it fools the art world, humiliating his nemesis and elevating his own status. The trickery, however, takes a life of its own. His fake Vermeer passes off as genuine, and instead of exposing the farce, Han finds himself weaving more intricate webs of forgery, earning him wealth and notoriety. His life becomes a thrilling game of artful deception until the day the formidable Nazi leader, Hermann Göring, arrives at his doorstep, seeking a Vermeer for his private collection. Han is plunged deeper into a whirlpool of lies and deceit, his life teetering on the edge of chaos. Torn between unmasking the truth and risking everything, or continuing his charade to keep Jolanka's love, Han makes a choice that will determine his fate in this riveting tale of art, love, and deception. His story, inspired by true events, paints a vivid picture of a man's desperate struggle for acceptance, revenge, and above all, love.
