Story
The swift Pierre Nyoks ... His life is an endless movement. He easily buys and sells ancient treasures, remaining profitable. Having a beautiful woman or having a huge bank account is nothing to Pierre. To be the sole owner of unique value is his only passion for which he is ready for anything! Not a second of rest, every moment is movement, because a stop in the world of Niox is impossible and is a terrible crime against the world and yourself ... What can you do - we are faced with a stubborn loner, a crazy player.
Pierre buys an old mansion far in the mountains, tearing his will from the hands of a dying owner, calling for this a personal helicopter. The old man’s daughter begins a lawsuit, so Pierre meets his future wife. In the mansion, he finds the ancient Roman ruins, carefully digs them out ... and then he goes to sleep with earth. During an exhibition of African antique masks, he meets the crown prince and he offers him other masks. To purchase them, you must immediately fly to a dubious African country - please leave your wife without a wedding night and fly away. But there are no masks - he is being arrested for smuggling masks. A few days in prison.
How he wanted to have a son, how he dreamed of his speedy birth, he even insisted on premature birth. But when the son was born, Pierre runs along the corridor of the hospital to see him soon, and reaching the door ... his eyes glazed, he instantly lost interest in the existence of his son, because this dream has now lost his former charm, becoming a banal reality. The wife is no longer interested; he wants to subjugate her sister.
The main goal of Pierre is an old Etruscan vase. And finally, they sell it at auction. Pierre is developing a complex plan to neutralize representatives of major museums. And the auction wins. The decisive blow of the hammer, and the phrase "Sold!" Announce the final not only the dream of Nyaks, but his so fast and by and large meaningless life. Heart attack
