Ο ζωγράφος του Μπελογιάννη

A Greek writer who owns Pablo Picasso's preliminary sketches for his famous portrait of Nikos Beloyannis is found murdered in Paris. The French authorities hunt the killer, while his young heir looks for a way to sell the drawings on the black market, despite suspecting they are forgeries. To solve the riddle, the French inspector has to go back into history, as does a meticulous researcher from Athens: to March 1952 and the Beloyannis trial, to Aragon, Picasso and 'the man with the carnation', to May '68, the Greek political exiles and their ideological passions.
