Plot
A group of young thieves attempt to carry out the biggest robbery in Francia's history, looting the private safe deposit boxes in a bank vault. Karim Allaoui, a young man whose occupation is not mentioned, is the leader of the gang. He is accompanied by three other thieves with different personalities: Alex Nony, a former legionnaire who uses his military knowledge to successfully carry out the robberies; Loustic, a sadistic robber with a long criminal record who enjoys humiliating his victims; and Mino, the youngest and most reserved of them, who suffers from diabetes.[5]
