Antonio Dumas takes over as director of the Ibero-American Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, launching into a wild, sharp-witted journey through the chaotic and contradictory world of contemporary art. Surrounded by a cast of eccentric yet strikingly realistic characters, artists, curators, agents, politicians, journalists and tourists, he must navigate a maze of absurd situations, institutional challenges and creative tensions.
As his tenure unfolds, Dumas faces scams, impostors, surreal mishaps, and ethical dilemmas that push his patience and ingenuity to the limit. Meanwhile, the increasing presence of his ex-wife, a radical, anti-establishment artist living in the Peruvian jungle, adds a deeply personal and destabilizing conflict to the mix.
Directed by acclaimed filmmakers Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, this acid comedy delivers a bold, ironic and brutally honest portrait of the art world, blending satire and realism with a touch of madness.
