Presented at The Screen of the Arts 2008Teri Horton is an American truck driver who bought as a present for a friend of hers an “horrible $5 painting” - as she actually said - at a thrift store. Her friend refused the present and Teri unconsciously does the business of her entire life. That incomprehensible painting can be a work of the most important American artist ever, Jackson Pollock. From this moment, the tragicomical story of the Teri’s crusade to certify the painting as authentic. She struggles against the impenetrable world of art starts. In spite of many and undoubtable clues, they cannot accept that it is a masterpiece of the modern art. A fingerprint, scientific tests, unmistakable comparisions are not enough for convincing the big names of the artworld. On the desk, there is not only the intellectual value of the work, but also its economic value, estimable, if authenthic, around $50 million.
