Who was the "Cézanne of counterfeit money," the mysterious man who even deceived the Bank of France, while his counterfeit banknotes are now considered collectible? 
In post-war France, a Polish refugee is forced to use his engineering talent to survive. Jan Bojarski arrives in France without a homeland or official identity. When the state denies him recognition and the patents he deserves, he decides to prove his worth in another way. In a makeshift workshop, he creates almost perfect counterfeit banknotes, capable of fooling even the Bank of France.
As he builds a double life, illegality becomes a personal wager of perfection and recognition. Inspector Matei dedicates years to pursuing him, setting up a persistent cat-and-mouse game in a crime drama based on a true story.
In French with Greek subtitles.
