Set against the backdrop of World War II Paris, The Art Spy reveals the courageous story of Rose Valland, a museum curator who covertly worked within Nazi ranks to protect priceless artworks. From the Jeu de Paume museum, now commandeered by the Nazis, Valland gathered intelligence that was vital to preserving humanity’s cultural heritage. This gripping narrative draws on newly uncovered documents to spotlight her role as a key Resistance figure, facing grave danger while thwarting Hitler’s plans for stolen art. Alongside her, Alexandre Rosenberg’s fight to reclaim his family’s legacy weaves a vivid portrayal of resilience amid occupation and conflict.
