synopsis

An almost deserted museum, a guard wearing high heels, a cinéphile thief and a Monet painting. In September 2000, Robert Z was given permission by the National Museum in Pozna?Ñ, Poland, to make a replica of Claude Monet's painting Beach in Pourville. He was allowed to work in the empty museum, which had no operational security cameras and was almost deserted on weekdays. Only one female guard was around, who every now and then alerted Robert inadvertently by the click-clack of her shoes. When he finished what he came for, he returned home. Only days later did the truth finally dawn on the museum staff. In this revealing story, Robert himself confesses the events and consequences of that fateful day in the museum
