Synopsis

Helge Achenbach, a prominent art dealer, faces a crisis after he forges invoices, labeling them as a 'collage.' This deception unfolds against the backdrop of a changing art market driven by greed and competition. Achenbach's actions reveal how the value of art often aligns more with its price than its true worth. Directed by Birgit Schulz, the documentary examines Achenbach's downfall and the underlying issues within the art world.
