Bank Under Siege Show Summary

In it we travel to Barcelona in 1981, specifically to May 23 of that year. Exactly three months have passed since the attempted coup d'etat in the Congress of Deputies and the population is barely recovering from the shock. Then eleven hooded men enter the headquarters of the Central Bank of Barcelona. So it's time to prepare for a spectacular robbery on television, but what viewers don't imagine is that this assault soon becomes a real challenge for the recent Spanish democracy. With more than 200 hostages in the bank, the robbers soon reveal a hidden objective that has nothing to do with obtaining financial loot.
