Rajko is a professional magician who broke his arm during one of his shows. But his insurance company Tangenta is unwilling to pay him the insurance benefits due to a bureaucratic error. Outraged by the injustice, he is defended only by the kind-hearted insurance agent Marcel who tries to help by getting Rajko in the room with the Tangenta’s CEO himself. But the meeting goes sour as Marcel impulsively kidnaps the CEO, much to Rajko’s surprise, and together they soon find themselves on the run.

Slovenian director and screenwriter Gregor Andolšek (1979) holds a graduate degree in Film Directing from the International Film School of Paris, EICAR. His filmography consists of numerous no-to-low-budget shorts including The Tunnel (2017), Toilet Stories (2014, with T. Zinajić), and Entre Potes (2008, with I. Tobalina). This Is a Robbery! is his debut fiction feature.

“I wanted to make a film that starts at the point where one usually gives up, when they are discarded, dumped and outplayed by a system. What would happen if they didn't just surrender?”
