The Right is a fictional story framed by historical sentiments. A seventy-three year old security guard at the Old Masters Gallery in Dresden writes a letter to the director of the Muzeum Sztuki in Lodz, requesting to volunteer for the museum as a guard. The reason for her wish to transfer, apart from her personal history as a Polish-German refugee in the 1940s, is the Lodz museum's collection of avant-garde works by the 1930s a.r. Group (also called "revolutionary artists"; "real avant-garde"). The a.r. group was one of the most renowned leftist avant-garde groups of the interwar period in Poland. The guard values these works more than the Old Masters of the Caravaggisti room in Dresden, where she is currently placed.
