A character-driven heist drama rooted in a true crime story, balancing the audacity of the theft against the personal bonds and mounting consequences that follow.

Mexico, 1985. Juan and Wilson, two perennial Veterinary students, perpetrate an audacious heist in the National Museum of Anthropology, running away with a loot of more than hundred invaluable pieces of Mayan art, unaware of the consequences of their outrageous act.
