Ten Unknowns

Synopsis

Malcolm Raphelson is a painter who was at the top of the art world--until the critical vogue turned from realism to abstract expressionist work.

He has been in self-imposed exile in Mexico for decades.

But then dealer Trevor Fabricant decides it's time for a retrospective.

Trevor sends Judd, a talented and tormented young painter, to serve as Malcolm's assistant and unofficial minder.

When they are joined by a beautiful young student, their tense equilibrium is upset.
