Plot:

In a hilariously misguided attempt to make ends meet, an incompetent father-son duo embark on a scrap metal theft spree. When they stumble upon an unassuming painting during a heist at a local museum, their world quickly spirals out of control. Unbeknownst to them, the artwork is the only original Rembrandt painting in all of Denmark and its sudden disappearance incites chaos among Interpol, the Danish police, and the local underworld.As the duo find themselves hunted by relentless law enforcement and crime lords alike, they embark on a desperate journey to understand their unwitting possession - the work of Rembrandt van Rijn, the Dutch painter who revolutionized the art world centuries ago. Amidst this turmoil, father and son are forced to confront their own limitations and insecurities while attempting to outwit those pursuing them. The film offers a thrilling mix of comedy and action as it explores themes of family, redemption, and the power of art to transcend generations.
