The two find themselves in deep financial trouble and come up with an outrageous plan to save themselves.
Maxime is on the brink of bankruptcy and desperately needs a way out.

Inspired by this, Maxime concocts a devious scheme to fake the theft of the painting and claim the insurance money. He approaches Paul with the idea, presenting it as their only chance to secure their financial futures.
Paul, driven by his timid nature and loyalty to Maxime, agrees to go along with the plan reluctantly.
