Les Règles de l'art

Jonathan, an expert in luxury watches, leads a gray and monotonous life until he meets Eric, a charming conman and dealer in stolen goods. Fascinated by his lifestyle, Jonathan is drawn deeper and deeper into the world of criminal transactions. The situation spirals out of control when the virtuoso thief Joe joins them. In 2010, the trio committed one of the most daring robberies in history - they stole five masterpieces by Picasso, Matisse and Modigliani from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
