Based on an absurd but true story
Directed by Robert Budreau
Produced by Darius Films, Lumanity Productions
A darkly comedic true-crime story about a 1973 bank heist that explores the psychological paradox of Stockholm Syndrome through the lens of absurdist humor and period detail.
Based on the extraordinary true story of the European city’s 1973 bank heist and hostage crisis that was documented in the 1974 New Yorker article “The Bank Drama” by Daniel Lang. The events grasped the world’s attention when the hostages bonded with their captors and turned against the authorities, giving rise to the psychological phenomenon known as “Stockholm Syndrome.”
