Stranger than fiction
Extremely fascinating and gripping documentary about an eccentric couple that departed this world leaving so many unanswered questions. It revolves around an art theft happened in 1985. The stolen painting (estimated to worth 160 million dollars presently) is found by a small town art dealer who has been asked to assess the collectibles left by a diseased elderly couple.
This is definitely one of the best crime related documentaries I have ever watched. This could easily make a blockbuster movie like "Catch me if you can". This story is thought provoking and surprises you with the double lives some people seem to enjoy.
