Fermín and his wife, Lidia, have a dream to revive their sleepy town and bring back economic growth. Looking to purchase an abandoned grain silo and create an agricultural cooperative, they begin to recruit locals to invest in their vision. With the help of friends and neighbors, Fermín and Lidia raise more than half of the $300,000 demanded from the property owner. While at first they decide to keep the money in a safe deposit box, the bank manager convinces Fermín to put their savings into the bank. And then the economy collapses the next morning. While Fermín and his investors struggle to recover from their financial loss and unbelievably bad timing, they learn that, the night before the collapse, a man named Manzi withdrew all the cash in the bank, including the co-op’s savings, and that his stolen fortune is hidden in an underground safe in the countryside. Determined to take back what’s theirs, Fermín and his crew of investors create an elaborate plan to steal back the money and divide it amongst themselves. Captivating, thrilling, and at times hilarious, HEROIC LOSERS is a thoroughly enjoyable heist film. Think “Ocean’s Eleven” set in the 2001 Argentinian financial crisis.
