In the quiet boredom of a Christmas Eve in 1985, two veterinary students hatch an audacious plan that will shake Mexico to its core. Gael García Bernal stars as Juan, who, alongside his friend Benjamín, decides to pull off a seemingly impossible heist: stealing priceless archaeological treasures from the heavily guarded National Museum of Anthropology. Driven by a cocktail of intellectual arrogance, generational disillusionment, and a desire to break free from their stagnant lives, the pair execute their plan with startling ease. Yet, their real struggle begins after the theft, as they grapple with the weight of their crime, the relentless pursuit of authorities, and the shocking reality that fencing history is far more complex than stealing it. Directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios, this stylish and darkly humorous crime drama, based on a true story, explores themes of identity, patrimony, and the empty promises of rebellion, all while maintaining a tense, cat-and-mouse atmosphere as the two amateur thieves navigate a criminal underworld they are utterly unprepared for.
