The Vault

The Vault is a Spanish crime thriller film that takes place in the vibrant city of Madrid, Spain, amidst the excitement of the 2010 World Cup. The world's attention is riveted on the Spanish national football team's incredible run to the championship, but a group of seasoned thieves has set its sights on a high-stakes heist. Their target is the Central HQ of the Bank of Spain, housed in the imposing Edificio Central building, a fortress-like structure with an array of impenetrable defenses and state-of-the-art security systems. In this city of sun-kissed streets and passionate football fans, the team of thieves, led by the enigmatic and cunning 'Mon' ( Marta Corral), must carefully plan and execute a daring operation to gain access to the vault. Their expertise is renowned, and they have a proven track record of targeting high-security facilities without triggering alarms or leaving a digital footprint. With their eyes fixed on the bank's vault, Mon's team must navigate the maze of complex security systems, cameras, sensors, and motion detectors designed to detect even the slightest anomaly. As the World Cup fever reaches a fever pitch, Mon and her team meticulously surveil the building, gathering intelligence on the guards' patrol routes, the timing of the security patrols, and the vulnerabilities of the building's electrical and communication systems. They also study the layout of the vault, trying to identify the exact location of the safe and any potential weaknesses in its design. Meanwhile, a skilled bank employee, 'Alex' ( Antonio de la Torre), who has been secretly working on cracking the safety deposit box codes for wealthy clients, becomes aware of the impending heist. Knowing that his knowledge could either lead him to a huge payday or condemn him to a life in prison, Alex makes contact with Mon's team. This unexpected alliance could be a game-changer for both Alex and the thieves, as they weigh the risks and benefits of working together. Mon, ever the pragmatist, knows that with the World Cup celebrations reaching a crescendo, the city will be distracted and the police would be preoccupied with maintaining law and order. Seizing this moment, the team sets in motion a carefully planned sequence of events to get past the security layers, all while creating an air of uncertainty and doubt around the operation. The tension builds as the thieves begin to penetrate deeper into the bank's systems. The camera work intensifies, with rapid cuts and point-of-view shots that put the audience right in the midst of the action.
