The Sleeper. The Lost Caravaggio
Caravaggio's painting "Sleeping Cupid" vanishes from a museum in 1914. A century later, art historian Maria Teresa Ruiz launches her own investigation, entering a world of smuggling, forgeries, and secret collections. Her search becomes a detective story where every clue is a brushstroke and every witness a silent expert. This 2025 documentary thriller follows the trail of the lost masterpiece from archival documents to modern attribution technologies. The film explores not only the fate of a specific painting but also humanity's eternal obsession with art, the boundary between authentic and fake, and the price we are willing to pay for beauty.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs the narrative as an intellectual quest, where the camera becomes a detective's tool—it glides over archival pages, scrutinizes X-rays of paintings, and captures microscopic details of brushwork.
Those who appreciate art history as a living mystery will find this journey compelling. What lingers is the understanding that every great painting holds not just an image, but a hidden biography. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Álvaro Longoria
