1911, Paris. The "Mona Lisa", the best-known work of the most prominent painter of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, has been mysteriously stolen from the Louvre along with a number of Iberian sculptures. While authorities have taken Pablo Picasso and his poet friend Apollinaire under custody as suspects, the entire city is swept by the rumor that a gang is about to strike all the museums in France. Inspired by the most famous theft in the history of art, the film is an entertaining period comedy which captures the bohemian life of Paris.
