Synopsis
In the 15th century a Flemish master introduces a game of chess into a painting, and thereby offers the key to resolving a secret of the era. Five centuries later, a woman art-restorer joins forces with a homosexual antiquarian and a chess-player to pit their wits in an effort to crack the enigma.
