Bob the Gambler

Bob le Flambeur

Bob has decided to give up his business in order to enjoy his hobby: gambling. However, he cannot refuse one last job proposed by a friend: to take part in an amazing raid on the Deauville casino. But that day, upon seeing the gaming rooms, a gambling table threatens to divert his attention away from the well-planned hold-up.
