Summary :

In June 2019 in the Compiègne region (Oise), a 97-year-old old woman said goodbye to her house before leaving for a retirement home. An early career auctioneer, in her thirties, must visit the site to determine what could be of little value. The rest will be thrown away.

In this house, a treasure will be discovered. A painting by the Italian painter Cimabue, dating back almost 750 years. What exactly is this table? How much is it worth? And how much is he going to auction?

This episode of Source Code is told by two journalists from the Oise du Parisien edition Elie Julien and Alexis Bisson.
