The film culminates in the explanation of the famous sign left in the vault: "In a neighborhood of rich people, without weapons or grudges, it's just money and not love." 3. The Twist: The Woman Scorned
Directed by Matías Gueilburt, the documentary distinguishes itself by putting the perpetrators themselves center stage. Unlike traditional true-crime procedurals that rely on police testimony or grainy CCTV, this film allows the "artists" behind the crime—Fernando Araujo, Sebastián García Bolster, Rubén de la Torre, and Miguel Sileo—to narrate their own mythos.
The heist was a "success" until it wasn’t. The documentary explores how the group was eventually caught not through forensic evidence, but because of a personal betrayal. Alicia Di Tullio, the wife of Rubén de la Torre, turned them in after discovering her husband planned to flee to Paraguay with a younger woman and his share of the loot.
Fernando Araujo, a plastic artist and martial arts instructor, explains the heist not as a criminal act, but as a conceptual art piece. He spent years planning the "perfect crime" to prove it could be done without violence.
Following the 2001 economic collapse in Argentina, many citizens felt the banks had "robbed" them. Consequently, the public viewed these thieves as folk heroes rather than villains.
