The story of ART revolves around three friends – Serge (Paul Issa), Marc (Munair Zacca), and Yvan (Alwyn Scott) – who find their previously solid 15-year friendship on shaky ground when Serge buys an expensive painting. “The canvas is white, with a few white lines …”
Serge is proud of his extravagant acquisition and fully expects to have the approval of his friends. Marc scornfully expresses his disapproval, but is it the painting that offends him, or the uncharacteristic independence-of-thought that the purchase reveals in Serge? For the insecure Yvan, burdened by the problems of his impending wedding and his dissatisfaction at his job as a stationery salesman, their friendship is his sanctuary…but his attempts at peacemaking backfire.
Lines are drawn and the three friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures. As their heated arguments become less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their friendship.
Go see it!
