Deep into his thirties with his degree in veterinary medicine no closer than it was a decade earlier, Juan (Gael García Bernal), who is still living under his parents’ roof, spends each day enduring the bitter sting of defeat. A disappointment to his judgmental father and the butt of a few too many family jokes, the hapless slacker spots an unlikely opportunity upward: stealing a collection of priceless Pre-Columbian artifacts from Mexico City’s National Museum of Anthropology. Together with fellow slacker Wilson (Leonardo Ortizgris), the pair pull off a daring heist, only to be faced with the dilemma of where to unload their ill-gotten gains. Soon the duo hits the road, crossing paths with an aging soft-core porn actress and a smarmy British antiquities collector — and quickly realizies that plundering a piece of their nation’s history has turned it against them — in this fresh, lively retelling of an incredible true story from writer/director Alonso Ruizpalacios.
