Elmyr de Hory (1905 - 1976) was called "The myth of our century" when he was revealed in 1968. He has probably made more than 1.000 fake paintings, primarily in the style of post-impressionists. The pictures were sold in America, Europe and Japan, and the total market value is estimated to be more than 100 million dollars. Many a gallery of good reputation may be in possession of a dubious Matisse or Modigliani. In addition to faking paintings, Elmyr also faked his own identity. The story of Elmyr de Hory lets us into a world where the limits between fiction and reality are erased. (Norwegian Film Institute)
