STOLEN is based on a true story. For nearly sixty years Cornelius Gurlitt hid 1,400 pieces of Nazi-era art valued at more than one billion dollars in his Munich apartment. His father, a “degenerate art” collector for Hitler, had slyly amassed the stash. In Cornelius’ fragile mind, the pieces¬¬ became his living and entire “family.” A chance chain of tragic and explosive events forced the octogenarian to face what he feared most. STOLEN looks at the weak recluse’s last days when he stands before an accusing world. Can he save his family? What happens when the paintings come alive again?
