Moving Pictures

Top Shelf is proud to welcome Kathryn and Stuart Immonen to the Top Shelf family with this very intimate story set in World War II while the Nazis were pillaging much of Europe's great art collections. Moving Pictures is the story of curator Ila Gardner and officer Rolf Hauptmann's disconcerting and dangerous private relationship that plays out in a public power struggle in which both are obligated by their jobs and their natures to participate. It unfolds along two timelines which collide with the revelation of a terrible secret, an enigmatic decision that not many would make and the realization for both characters that sometimes the only choice left is the refusal to choose.
