'Vinci' is a 2004 Polish comedy heist film written, directed, and produced by Juliusz Machulski.
Plot
Cuma (Robert Wickiewicz), an art thief, is commissioned to steal 'Lady with an Ermine' by Leonardo da Vinci, which has been returned from Japan to the Czartoryski Museum in Krakw. Cuma asks his friend Julian (Borys Szyc), a former colleague, for help.
Julian goes along with Cuma's plans for the theft, but meanwhile plots to switch the painting for a reproduction, so that the precious original will not be not lost. He consults old forger Hagen (Jan Machulski), who assigns the task of making a copy to the talented student Magda (Kamila Baar).
