Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)

In 1959 Bucharest, a spectacular bank heist has the country in an uproar. In post-war Communist Romania, this is an unimaginable slap in the face to the iron-fisted authorities. Four men and a woman are arrested, tried, and convicted, and while they wait for their execution, they are--forced to star in a propaganda film about the crime. All five protagonists were heroes of the Resistance during WWII and highly-placed members of Romanian society. They clearly knew they would be caught and executed.
