Vinci is a 2004 Polish comedy heist film written, directed, and produced by Juliusz Machulski.

Plot

Cuma (Robert Więckiewicz), 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 Kraków. Cuma asks his friend and former colleague Julian (Borys Szyc) 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).
