When the art historian Štěpán Vácha discovered a painting from an unknown painter in the Břevnov Monastery, the search for its origins began. Who painted it? This is the first among many questions arising in this investigation. Amálie Kovářová records the detective work in several chapters and gives an impressive presentation of the circumstances of the newly discovered work of art. Witness exciting debates on authorship, unexpected discoveries, and above all, the tremendous love for art and restoration work. (Academia Film Olomouc)
