This Argentinian box office hit is a true-crime comedy based on one of the most famous bank heists in the country's history, a crime which also inspired the recent Spanish Netflix series MONEY HEIST [LA CASA DE PAPEL]. Friday, January 13, 2006: more than 300 police officers surround the Acassuso branch of the Río Bank, just outside Buenos Aires. Inside, martial arts instructor Fernando Araujo (Diego Peretti, NO KIDS, TEN DAYS WITHOUT MOM) and his hand-picked, four-member crew are hard at work emptying safety deposit boxes of cash, jewelry and gold bars. But by the time the police infiltrate the bank, all they find are toy weapons, frightened hostages and empty bank vaults. There's no sign of the money, or of the thieves themselves. But how this all-star band of misfits pulled off the now-legendary heist is not as surprising as what happened afterward. Co-starring Guillermo Francella (THE CLAN, THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES), this smart and twisty thriller is co-scripted by Araujo — the mastermind behind the heist itself — and promises a truly wild ride. Official Selection, 2020 Málaga Film Festival.
