Mercado de espejismos

Corina and Jacob made their living planning art thefts, and age and a lack of clients seem to have ended their careers. Then a Mexican rake obsessed with mysticism, who hopes to glimpse God through a special prism, offers them one last job: taking the Magi's reputed remains out of Cologne Cathedral. The caper sends up the occult thriller and becomes a comedy about how easily the mind deceives itself, and how much we need stories to feel alive.
