The Christophers

Synopsis

Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion – but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning), desperate for an inheritance, hire art restorer and former forger Lori (Michaela Coel) to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access eight unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage.

Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian’s death.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh.
