## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A 60-year-old taxi driver swaps the chaotic calm of 1961 London for an art heist nobody saw coming. The theft of Goya’s Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery becomes an unlikely folk hero origin story. A bit like a dad stealing the last biscuit, except with more legal fees.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cozy, playful
