An exaggerated parody of crime cinema, the film follows a ragtag gang led by the oddly named Renato, “o pacífico” (the peaceful), as they attempt a bold theft of priceless jewels from Lisbon’s Gulbenkian Museum. Their unconventional weapon? Swarms of aggressive bees, turning the heist into a chaotic, comedic spectacle.
