Further details

In this dialogue-free farce, we enter the beautiful, modernist home of Gerald and Sabrina... a beautiful home with lots of beautiful things in it. Beautiful things of extreme value. The kind of things that might just become the target of an audacious criminal enterprise.

When cat-burglars Ray and Eddie decide to break into the luxury house, they have to dodge all manner of obstacles - including the warring couple that live there - to get their hands on a priceless painting.
