In 1964, at the height of the Cold War, a group of political and art world insiders embark on a plan to make Robert Rauschenberg the winner of the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale. Deftly pulling off maneuvers that could have come from a Hollywood thriller, the American team leaves the international press crying foul and Rauschenberg questioning the politics of nationalism that sent him there.
