Los Wánabis (2023)
Based on a real-life case, The Wanabis tells the story of a group of friends who, in an attempt to become overnight millionaires, invest everything they have (and don't have) in a bizarre business proposition that convert dyed black bills into real money. Their quest takes them on a journey fraught with risk and absurdity, risking their lives or at least changing them forever.
