Headhunters
Roger Brown has virtually everything to be happy. He’s Norway’s best headhunter and lives in a sumptuous house with his wife, a gorgeous gallery owner. But Roger lives beyond his means and has to steal artworks to keep up with his lifestyle. Upon the opening of a new art gallery, his wife introduces him to Clas Greve, who is not only the most suitable candidate for a position that Roger is seeking to fill, but also owns a painting by Rubens, one of the most sought-after painting in modern art history. Roger takes his chance to become financially independent and start to pull off the biggest job he ever done.
