Who would reject the offer for the robbery of the millennium? One witty gentleman, talking to El Professor, addressed selected criminals in Spain to the biggest theft ever – The aim is to occupy the Royal Mint and to print € 2.4 billion instead of theft without endangering a single life. In addition, spend in the Mint hostage 11 days – dressed in red overalls and in the mask of Salvador Dalí.
Eleven days in isolation
Their crazy plan includes hostages and perfect collaboration between team members named after world capitals (Tokyo, Helsinki, Moscow, Berlin …). But the police have their own procedures and the group is increasingly feeling insecure. For sure, eleven days is a very long time for something to go wrong!
The pilot episode doesn’t lose time by explaining much – no introduction to characters and preparation for the event. The hot Spanish blood is waiting for nothing and the thieves are send straight into action! This keeps the show tense and it makes you very curious , as you will surely want to see how this crazy plan ends. So, although the pilot episode has 80 minutes, you won’t be bored for a moment.

What you need to do is is to get ordinary people on your side and convince them that they are doing the right thing. However, it does not work for everyone, and there are some mints among the hostages who have a different opinion.
