Faking art is easy—until it gets real.

When two average schlubs pretend to be artists to get laid, their scheme spirals into a hilarious tangle of pretend philosophies, real feelings and an accidental quest for authenticity in the absurd world of modern art.

Produced by PinProductions and María Teresa Uzal Rodríguez Producciones.
