The year is 2001, and Argentina is hitting the lowest point in its great depression. A group of friends and neighbours pool together all of their savings to reactivate an agricultural cooperative and the economy of their small town. The day after they deposit the group’s money in the bank, Argentina’s economy and banking system collapses, and they lose it all. But they soon find out that they are not only victims of the country’s economic collapse, they have been scammed by the bank manager who has taken advantage of the situation. In a twist on the heist film, this small town group of every man and woman bands together and puts a plan into action to recover what’s rightfully theirs.

Featuring the great Ricardo Darín, star of The Secret in Their Eyes, Nine Queens and Truman, the latest from director Sebastian Borensztein is a rousing tale of working-class solidarity and collective revenge.
