Araujo describes the heist as a "work of art," and the documentary reflects this through creative visuals, reenactments, and dioramas.
The film's most notable feature is that it is narrated by the actual perpetrators, including mastermind Fernando Araujo ("The Artist") and key collaborator Sebastian García Bolster ("The Engineer").
The crew left a famous note at the scene: "In a rich man's neighborhood without guns or grudges, it's only money and no love" . Despite their "perfect" plan, they were eventually caught after one of the robbers' wives alerted the police for revenge.
Critics generally recommend it, with Decider and Common Sense Media praising its fascinating character portraits and sleek visual style.
