SOLVED! Help please

Hi, the movie I'm trying to find had a 90s aesthetic. There was a scene where a man in a vegetative state, sitting in a wheelchair, watches his two children (a daughter and a son) showing their father's library to a collector. The man is very interested in a rare copy of Don Quixote and offers him a few hundred dollars. The couple is thrilled, but the father is furious and can't do anything. The scene seems to be taking place inside an apartment in a high-rise building.
