Synopsis:

A knockabout heist caper with serious - even tragic - undertones, Hold-Up! (¡Atraco!) is a breezily likeable crime-comedy inspired by a bizarre footnote of 20th century political history. The Spanish/Argentinian co-production revolves around a complicated plan concoted to prevent the wife of Spain's dictator General Franco getting her hands on jewels once owned by Argentina's fabled first lady Eva Perón - 'Evita' for short. And for the most part journeyman director Eduard Cortés juggles its romantic, comic and dramatic elements with slick, audience-friendly aplomb.

In his latest film, Eduard Cortés (The Pelayos) describes one of the craziest robberies in the history of crime. In 1955 Evita's jewellery is pawned at a Spanish jeweller's by General Perón's assistants to pay his expenses in exile. However things don't go as planned and some loyal Peronist agents will have to turn into impromptu thieves to recover them.
