⚡️ Artist and Crook: his secret passion for the piano, which allowed him to escape from prison and be discovered by Michel Berger.
⚡️ The Curse: how each attempt at redemption through music was shattered by tragedy, forcing him back into his old ways.
⚡️ A life's reckoning: 25 years behind bars, failed escapes, millions gone, and one question: bad luck or destiny?
