Synopsis
Based on real events. 'Museum' tells the story of two students who, after leaving the veterinary school, come to commit the biggest theft in Mexico: the looting of the National Museum of Anthropology. The film focuses on all the events and circumstances surrounding this theft that occurred in 1985. Despite thinking that behind the robbery were two experienced professional thieves, the Mexican police found that behind the events were Carlos Perches and Ramón Sardina, two young boys of humble origin coming from the suburbs, which gave a new dimension to the case. The director Alonso Ruizpalacios, filmmaker behind the acclaimed 'Güeros' (2014) directs this criminal thriller starring Gael García Bernal, Leonardo Ortizgris, Alfredo Castro, Simon Russell Beale, Bernardo Velasco, Leticia Brédice and Ilse Salas.
