What's it about?

White stripes on a white background. For 200,000 Francs.An bitter dispute among three long-time friends ignites over a modern work of art. Serge, a successful dermatologist and aesthete, has bought the monochrome painting and now enthusiastically presents it to his friends. Marc, an engineer, cannot believe it and reacts indignantly, even considering the purchase a betrayal of their friendship. Yvan, rather erratic in his career, has enough problems of his own with his upcoming wedding and prefers not to take a stance at all. The abstract artwork becomes a catalyst that puts the feelings of three men, their friendship, and their entire existence to the test.Yasmina Reza, one of the most successful playwrights worldwide, achieved her first major success with "Art", which premiered in Paris in 1994. The comedy, full of brilliant dialogues, received several important awards and has been translated into over 40 languages.
