Christmas Eve, 1985. Students Juan and Wilson are planning a daring coup—the robbery of precious Mesoamerican artifacts from the National Museum of Anthropology. After the theft, the pair soon discovers their crime is all over Mexican news, and the gravity of their actions begins to dawn on them.

After the acclaimed Güeros, Alonso Ruizpalacios’ next film was loosely inspired by the real theft of objects from Mexico City’s world-famous Museum of Anthropology by two students. Starring Gael García Bernal, this dazzling heist film of many facets and much wit is a bewitching, mischievous odyssey.
