description: "In the Geneva Freeport complex alone there are said to be round 1.2 million works of art (including Nazi looted art). The artist of the upcoming double feature, Maeve Brennan, follows forensic archaeologists on the job, an undertaking that fluctuates between detective work and the reconstruction of destroyed looted art."
