In Alonso Ruizpalacios' (GÜEROS) expertly crafted heist comedy, Gael García Bernal and Leonardo Ortizgris star as two 30-something slackers living with their parents in the suburbs of Mexico City. When the pair decide it's time to shake up their dead-end lives, they come up with a plan to execute the most infamous museum heist in Mexican history.
