Closer to the Moon

Closer to the Moon details the true account of a group of high-ranking Jewish members of the nomenklatura, who, in 1959, staged what was to become known as the coup of the century: they robbed Romania’s National Bank by making it look like a film shoot. But that was only the beginning. Once arrested and prosecuted, they were forced to reenact their parts in the heist for a political propaganda movie. Despite its tragic aspect, this incredible story, forever shrouded in mystery, gets an unexpectedly thrilling treatment. Vera Farmiga, Mark Strong, and Game of Thrones' Harry Lloyd star.
