Résumé

Depuis son enfance, Roman Lapshin est habité par un secret de famille qui porte sur la mystérieuse disparition de milliers de peintures de l’artiste Vladimir Dvorkin, son grand-père. Le film retrace la quête d’un homme déterminé à faire la lumière sur le sombre destin de son aïeul afin de rétablir son honneur et de récupérer son legs artistique. Cependant, la recherche de ses œuvres d’art ne va pas sans périls. Mais en dépit des dommages collatéraux et des risques encourus, Lapshin poursuit inlassablement son enquête à travers trois continents et cinq pays. Sa soif de vérité et de revanche sera-t-elle la clé vers la libération ?

Since he was a child, Roman Lapshin has been haunted by a secret his late grandfather revealed to him when he was only 12 years old. A personal disclosure regarding the mysterious and troubling origins of thousands of pieces of missing artwork his grandfather had painted over his lifetime.
Convinced that he alone must investigate and expose the murky fate of his grandfather’s artwork to redeem his grandfather’s name and artistic legacy. But finding the paintings will mean going against the wishes of his entire family - who have been guarding this secret all along. It also means confronting the notorious and powerful man at the centre of this secret whom Roman believes exploited his grandfather when he was a desperate, recent immigrant to a new country.
Portrayal follows Roman across three continents and five nations as he puts together the pieces of a mysterious puzzle and come to terms with a family legacy and his own personal journey of restoration, growth and healing.
