“A master of possession. A crime of obsession.”

Virgil Oldman (Geoffrey Rush) is a celebrated antiques expert and auctioneer who lives alone and keeps people at the length of a gavel. Giuseppe Tornatore sends him to the crumbling villa of Claire Ibbetson (Sylvia Hoeks), a young heiress who wants her family's priceless art collection valued and sold. She will not step out of her room to meet him, and Virgil, who has never let anyone close, begins to let her in.
