Il protagonista di questo cortometraggio d’arte animata è un cratere, ovvero un antico vaso, dipinto da Eufronio più di 2000 anni fa. Tale opera svela la storia del suo rapimento e la successiva diaspora, durata oltre 10.000 giorni: un viaggio al di là dell’Atlantico, attraverso una sofisticata rete di trafficanti d’arte, collezionisti e direttori di musei che ci conducono dritti nel mondo dell’art crime.
