Woman in Gold
The emotionally charged world of art restitution is revealed in this true story. Maria Altmann (Mirren) is an elderly woman living in Los Angeles who, decades earlier, had been forced to flee Vienna, Austria due to her Jewish heritage when the Nazis invaded. While looking through some old letters written by her late sister, she learns that her family had left behind some original pieces of artwork when they fled and that one of them is a painting of her aunt by Gustav Klimt. Determined to retrieve her property, she challenges the Austrian government all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States to get it back -- but the painting, called the Woman in Gold, is now considered an Austrian national treasure. With the Austrian government unwilling to part with the masterpiece, Maria embarks on the legal fight of her life to not only recover the stolen property, but also to recover a piece of her family's heritage.
