Let's start with its argument and I can tell you that you are going to love it. The Professor, a man with great intelligence, has planned an infallible robbery: helped by a group of very peculiar thieves, they will lock themselves up for 11 days in the National Mint and Stamp Factory to steal 2.4 billion euros that they themselves are going to print, that is, in reality they are not going to steal it from anyone because they are going to manufacture it themselves. During those days they will keep us in full tension and curiosity, eager to see how each chapter, each day, each new setback progresses.

One of the keys to its success is that it has all the necessary ingredients to keep viewers hooked chapter after chapter: it is not the typical bank robbery but the plan is masterful, it has suspense, comedy, romanticism, passion, action and even songs! In addition, it has some of the best actors and actresses on the Spanish scene: Úrsula Corberó, Álvaro Morte, Alba Flores, Jaime Lorente, Paco Tous and Miguel Herrán.
