An escape from the Nazis and a secret that reaches into the present. A Jewish art collector flees to Switzerland with the help of smugglers, but his trail disappears in the thicket of a forest. All that remains is his cane, in which a small painting is rolled up. Seventy years later, Gottfried Messmer enters the foyer of a bank in Zurich. In his father's safe deposit box, he finds an authentic Klimt. How did his father come to possess this painting? And where is its true owner? Gottfried must confront a family secret that stretches deep into his country's history.
