Plot
After fleeing Poland during World War II, gifted engineer Jan Bojarski settles in France, where he struggles to find recognition for his inventions. He eventually turns his remarkable technical skills to counterfeiting, secretly producing French banknotes of such extraordinary quality that he becomes known as the “Cézanne of counterfeit money.” For more than a decade, Bojarski manages to stay ahead of the authorities while determined police inspector André Mattei becomes increasingly obsessed with tracking him down. Based on a remarkable true story, The Money Maker follows the gripping battle of wits between a brilliant counterfeiter and the relentless investigator determined to uncover his identity.
