The Spoils

Canada 2024 | 104 minutes | English, German | Hebrew, English subtitles

A powerful documentary exposing the still-raging battle over the restitution of Nazi-looted art. Amid the rise of the far right in Germany, and as artworks from post-WW2 collections re-enter the global market, lawyers, curators, politicians, and Jewish organizations are engaged in intense disputes over questions of ownership, history, and moral responsibility. The Spoils delves into the global debate over the rightful ownership of art plundered during World War II, centering on the case of Max Stern, a German-Jewish art dealer expelled from Düsseldorf in 1937. Through archival footage and provocative interviews, The Spoils offers a gripping, poignant exploration of the complex moral and legal dilemmas that continue to shape the art world today.
