Plot
Elías is a film director and Flako was the most wanted bank robber during the economic crisis in Spain. Flako was in jail while Elías was in the street. Elías decides to send a letter to the jail where Flako is staying and, surprisingly, three weeks later receives his response in which he says he has his permission to pay a visit to the prison. This documentary, directed by León Siminiani, is the chronicle of a friendship between two people with a common goal: to make a robbery movie. A "documentary of creation" that starts from a real case and that brings us a story of friendship, full of love for the cinema and with the longing for reinsertion appearing at the end of the tunnel. The premiere is set to be in 2018.

Trivia
Doing favors
Flako asked the documentary director if he could help him to write a book about his life. León Siminiani accepted because Flako was helping him to make his robberies film.
Long process
The documentary took years to start shooting because Flako had to go through several trials and criminal proceedings.
Silence pact
The first time that Flako and the director met they decided not to talk about Flako's robberies until the trial was held, to preserve their defense in the judicial process.
