The Christophers

Art, commerce, and resentment intertwine in a comedy led by veteran actor Ian McKellen. He plays Julian Sklar, a prominent figure in the London art scene since the 1960s who is now a voluntary recluse, estranged from his children. To secure their inheritance, his children hire a talented forger to pose as an assistant and complete a series of unfinished paintings found in Sklar’s ​​home, intending to put them up for sale after the elderly artist’s death.
