In 1656 Amsterdam, young Jewish philosopher Bento de Spinoza watches his world collapse when his closest friend is executed for printing forbidden ideas. The city is gripped by plague, fear, and religious zeal, and Bento's growing habit of questioning sacred truths makes him a danger to both Church and synagogue. Amid this turmoil, he meets Rembrandt van Rijn, the once-celebrated painter now sliding into debt and disgrace.

A Real Vermeer poster
5.3

Young and talented Han van Meegeren is a rebel in the early 1920's Amsterdam art-scene. Because he paints in the style of his idols Rembrandt and Vermeer, critics find his work old-fashioned and they call him a copycat. Just to prove a point, he produces a fake Vermeer and tries to pass it off as a real one. It works. Instead of revealing the truth and thereby embarrassing the art world, he continues to make money off of his many forgeries. Soon he is caught in a web of lies and deceit, and his life spins out of control. Then one day, high ranking Nazi Hermann Göring knocks on his door, looking for a Vermeer for his private collection...
