Migueli, a criminal who is released from prison in the changing Spain of the early 1980s, wants to look toward the future, but first, he must heal the wounds of the past. For that, he needs a lot of money – and fast. As soon as he arrives in Seville, he reunites with his old gang and they carry out a series of heists: bank branches, jewelry stores, even the area’s first casino. But it won’t be easy: the police have assigned the case to his own brother, Sabino, who knows exactly how he thinks. Nevertheless, Migueli won’t stop. He’s determined to see it through to the end.
