Venice in April 2024, International Art Biennale: Irish performance artist Aaron Geldof is hanging on a cross to go up in flames –  a sacrificial death, for the freedom of Palestine. Media and politicians in Germany are quick to identify the real motive for this martyr act: a hatred of Jews. But the cultural journalist Enzo Bamberger, Geldorf’s confidant, believes that the death act was an art performance. As he embarks on a journey into the depths of the art world, he finds himself getting entangled in a thicket of sex, power and manipulation, tracing grey eminences with long fingernails, who are scheming in the shadow. Do they hold the key to the question: Why did Aaron have to die?
