The true story of a group of high-ranking Jewish members of the Communist Party, who, in 1959, staged what would be the coup of the century: they robbed Romania’s National Bank, making it look like a film shoot. But that was only the beginning: once arrested and prosecuted, they were forced to reenact their parts in the heist for a propaganda movie.
