Summary: Aurélien, director of the Louvre's Painting Department, sees the museum as a refuge from the noise of the world. But his new president, Daphné – a woman with uninhibited pragmatism – entrusts him with a mission as perilous as it is dreaded: the restoration of the Mona Lisa. Reluctantly, Aurélien sets out in search of a restorer bold enough to tackle the ultimate masterpiece. His quest leads him to Tuscany where he finds Gaetano, an intense and free-spirited personality. Faced with Mona Lisa, the Italian will confront his own genius with that of Da Vinci, while humanity holds its breath... Paul Saint Bris casts a sharp eye on the visual gluttony of our era, and demonstrates, with humor and brilliance, that lightening the varnish benefits both the artworks and the people close to them.
