When her adopted home city of Paris is conquered by the Nazis, art restorer Sophie reluctantly accepts an offer to continue her work at the Jeu de Paume Museum--a museum used as a repository for art looted from Jewish families. Realizing that Paris's modern art might soon meet the same fate, Sophie and her sister-in-law, Fabienne, embark upon a plan to save Paris' "degenerates"--by replacing the paintings in the Jeu de Paume with skillful forgeries. How long can Sophie and Fabienne sustain their masterful illusion?
