Summary:
How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the
painter was? Would it be art? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just
bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, all white
with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge in
sists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another
friend, Ivan, though burdened by his own problems, allows himself to be
pulled into this disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells Serge he likes
the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the
canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over
various failures. As their arguments become less theoretical and more
personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking
point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: "Go on." This is
where the friendship is finally tested, and the aftermath of action, and
its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds.
