In 1990, millions of East German marks are locked away in an underground vault. A group of clever East Germans take advantage of the chaotic times to retrieve as much money as they can carry – a highly entertaining heist based on true events. With wit and skill, they prove that even the most powerful system can be outsmarted. Things take a turn for the worse, however, when money starts circulating that officially never existed in the GDR (German Democratic Republic).
