The film follows the tracks of a master fraudster, impersonator and Ponzi schemer who, among other exploits, coached the Hungarian ladies' swimming team to success at international championships without being able to swim himself and, a few years later, claimed to be an archbishop and buyer of antique paintings for the Vatican Museum. In both cases, he made many acquaintances, came across as engaging and helpful but finally vanished with millions in cash. Interviews with people who encountered the man and were duped by him, though despite this and despite losing money, many of them retain a humorous feeling about what happened.—Magnus
An arch bishop turns up in Malmoe, Sweden. He stays for one year and gets a lot of friends. He even wed some couples. It turns out that he is a con-man who tricks over twenty persons to invest money in buying art through the Vatican State. Walking in his foot-steps it is revealed that he has fooled people all over the world his whole life: diamond dealer in Israel, leader for the Hungarian Olympic swimming team, doctor in Australia. The big question is if he died as the official Hungarian version goes. Did he?
