The inside story behind the Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million, claimed to be a long-lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. Unravelling the hidden agendas of the world’s richest men and most powerful art institutions, the documentary reveals how vested interests became all-important, and the truth secondary.
