Set in 2001, this delightful heist dramedy follows a group of friends and neighbors who pool all of their savings to reactivate an agricultural cooperative in their small town. The day after they deposit the group's money in the bank, the banking system collapses, and they lose it all. But they soon find out that they are not only victims of the country-wide crisis, they have been scammed by an unscrupulous lawyer and bank manager who were poised to take advantage of the situation. This group of everymen and women band together and put a plan into action to recover what’s rightfully theirs.
