Bank Robbery

Running time: 90 mins

Meet Madis, force of nature, wild bull in the china shop of society.

Just out of a ten-year stint in jail, all Madis wants is to get married and stay out of trouble. To his shy teenage nephew Hannes, who is bullied by his father and neighborhood toughs, Madis seems like a god. When Madis leaves to be with his bride-to-be, Hannes tags along. Sometimes, though, there is no straight line between two points, and the surprises awaiting them on the path they take will change both their lives forever.

This incredibly accomplished, amazingly affecting film is nothing if not surprising: one moment hilariously funny, the next heart-wrenchingly sad. Anchored by a terrific script and pitch-perfect acting in all the major roles, Bank Robbery is simultaneously a wild adventure and a dark portrait of the growing love between two people trying desperately to find happiness. It will leave you stunned, moved and wholly satisfied.
