What happens

Burnt Money (Spanish: Plata quemada) is a 2000 action thriller directed by Marcelo Piñeyro and written by Piñeyro and Marcelo Figueras. Starring Leonardo Sbaraglia, Eduardo Noriega, Pablo Echarri, Leticia Brédice and Ricardo Bartis, it is based on Ricardo Piglia's 1997 Planeta prize-winning novel of the same name. The novel was inspired by the true story of a notorious 1965 bank robbery in Buenos Aires. Plata quemada won, among other awards, the Goya Award for Best Spanish-language Foreign Film in 2001. It was partly funded by INCAA. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
