Synopsis

A film about the state of the world at the turn of the millennium. Three friends once attempted to escape totalitarian Czechoslovakian Socialist Republic. But the attempt to emigrate ended in fiasco. For one it meant prison. For the other two it meant lifelong frustration. The three meet again in scenic modern Prague... The film is a reconstruction of the two biggest robberies in Czech history. During the first robbery the thieves managed to steal 28 million crowns from a Prague post office. In the course of second robbery an armored car transporting money was liberated of 150 million crowns. How are they enjoying their money today? But even more importantly, how to put it into circulation without anyone catching on to them? Our three find out that it is much more difficult than they thought.
