Synopsis
In Dafen, a Chinese village known for its art forgery, thousands of painters work tirelessly in cramped spaces. They produce over 10 million paintings each year, replicating masterpieces from artists like Van Gogh and Monet. Prices for these copies vary, with a small Van Gogh costing 45 euros and a Mona Lisa priced at around 200 euros. Families live surrounded by these artworks, growing up under the watchful eyes of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring and Klimt’s The Kiss.
