CRIME FOR PUNISHMENT

A city lives with its normal pace. People go about their business, some hang around, other drink coffee and chat. But this is not an ordinary day, there's something ominous in the air, something is going to happen. Two seemingly harmless and careless shoeblacks turn out to be gloomy crooks with a dirty plan to rob a bank courier. A 'successful' crime seems to take place, but it is not clear whether this is a mass hallucination, or a dream, or did it really happen. The crooks bribe and hide away in the audience when the police arrive and start to investigate in search for witnesses, confessions and criminals. Everything becomes even more complicated when the murdered bank courier returns to the place with his own story. Who is making it up and how to find the final truth about the event...?
