Documentary filmmaker Teller directs this film about inventor Tim Jenison's decade-long quest to solve one of history's greatest artistic mysteries: How did 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer create such remarkably realistic paintings 150 years before the invention of photography? Jenison travels to Holland and Yorkshire, meets artist David Hockney, and even makes a pilgrimage to Buckingham Palace in search of answers. He develops a revolutionary technique using mirrors, lenses, and meticulous craftsmanship to duplicate Vermeer's painting style, leaving art historians and enthusiasts alike in awe.
