It's based on the true story of the 1985 Christmas Eve robbery of the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City and follows two veterinary students, Juan Núñez (Gael García Bernal) and Benjamín Wilson (Leonardo Ortizgris), as they commit the heist, stealing precious Mayan, Mixtec, and Zapotec artifacts, and its aftermath. It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear in the main competition section at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival where it won the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay.
