A bit Lupin, a bit “gangsta granny” : a thief so gentleman that after stealing he always leaves a gourmet dish for his victims

When Gustavo opens the envelope he doesn’t know that his life is about to change. From star chef to professional thief. How will Gustavo do, so honest that he does not even collect coins from the ground? Yet he is the right man: he is quick, he is creative and he is surprisingly thin! If he really must be a thief Gustavo will be a Gentleman Thief!"

Gustavo Strano is the starred chef of a prestigious restaurant in Milan: in his dishes he puts love and fantasy. When the restaurant is in serious financial trouble, the owner is obliged to close and to fire Gustavo.

Gustavo is hopeless and jobless. Till he receives a mysterious letter from the employment office in which the sender asks whether he is willing to do any work.

But can he really do any work? Yes, Gustavo is willing to. Pity that he is requested to rob the villa of one of the richest entrepreneurs.

Backing off is impossible, but if he must be a thief … Gustavo intends to be a gentleman thief. He will just leave a gourmet dish to his victims, or maybe this could incriminate him?
