Daniel Brühl and Goodbye Lenin! director Wolfgang Becker reunite for Me and Kaminski.
Art critic Sebastian Zöllner (Brühl) is on the hunt for glory. He wants to write a tell-all book about Manuel Kaminski, a once prominent pupil of Matisse and friend of Picasso, who’s retreated to a chalet in Graubünden and has long been blind. Zöllner tracks him down, unscrupulously invades his life, steals some of his late paintings, and entices him to travel to Belgium, where Kamiski's childhood sweetheart, who’s long been assumed dead, is thought to live. On the way, Zöllner begins to suspect that the old man might have the advantage over him.
