Synopsis

When a Russian oligarch accuses his trusted Swiss art dealer of a billion-dollar betrayal, their explosive feud pulls back the curtain on the secretve world of the ultra-wealthy - where masterpieces are currency, fortunes are hidden in plain sight, and power is everything.

 

Note from the artistic direction

A look back at the legal battle between art dealer Yves Bouvier to the oligarch Dmitri Rybolovlev. A fascinating breakdown of the inner workings of the art world, from the most prestigious auction houses to freeports around the globe. 

Driven by extraordinary direction, this docuseries is savored like the most gripping of spy films, with protagonists one can easily imagine as devoted readers of Machiavelli…
