Eccentric shop keeper Thierry Guetta finds unexpected fame in the art world as "Mr. Brainwash," captivating consumers and confusing critics and fellow artists alike. Guertta's success is so confoundingthat many believe the whole film is a hoax, but D'Cruz and King promise that Theirry Guetta's story is all fact.
