Content : When a troupe of travelling performers embarks on an impossible mission… get ready for the heist of the century, with swords and capes!

They are talented, resourceful, and fearless: they are the Prodigios Bonentanos!
Life as travelling performers isn’t always easy, but these five street artists are as close as the fingers on a hand. Ready to do anything to escape poverty, they accept the impossible mission given to them by Count Absalom: to steal the Philosopher’s Stone from a wealthy collector of mystical objects, kept in a treasure room said to be impenetrable.

Between sleight of hand, sword fights, telepathy, and magical relics, they will face any danger to pull off the heist of the 18th century!
