Synopsis:

A quiet, cynic taxidermist, who suffers epilepsy attacks, is obsessed with committing the perfect crime. He claims that the cops are too stupid to find out about it when it's well executed, and that the robbers are too stupid to execute it the right way; and that he could do it himself relying on his photographic memory and his strategic planning skills. After he is invited on a hunting trip away from his home, an accident gives him the chance of his life: the possibility to commit the perfect crime he has been waiting for.

"The Aura" tells in the first person the extraordinary trip of a character with no name, a taxidermist, an introverted, obscure man who has a strange obsession for an honest man: again and again over recent years, he has planned and imagined the most perfectly executed robberies. They're always successful - thanks to his intelligence which, he claims, marks him apart from the idiots-fighting-idiots struggle of cops and robbers. He could carry it off better than anybody else. Taken away from his urban habitat and transported to the remote forests of the south to take part in a day's hunting, a tragic accident unexpectedly gives him the chance to commit a real crime: an attack on an armored security truck carrying the takings from a nearby casino. Motivated at first by morbid curiosity, and then carried along by the momentum of events, this taxidermist will be hurled right into his fantasies, and compelled to assemble, piece by piece, a complex jigsaw puzzle of events which will slowly trap him inescapably..
