Serie: The paper house

What is the paper house?


The paper house is a Spanish series that has become one of the greatest heist
fictions ever seen. The series, which has four seasons, deals with the
spectacular assault, by a gang of criminals, on the National Mint and Stamp
Factory, in the first two installments, and the Bank of Spain, in the third and
fourth. The combination of the genres of action, intrigue and thriller together with
its attractive plot and the peculiar character of its characters make it the most
successful Spanish series of all time.The series starts from an original idea that
remains present in the two seasons. The premise revolves around the character
of Sergio Marquina, alias “El Professor”, a mysterious man who since childhood
has meticulously planned the robbery at the National Currency and Stamp
Factory, which is the biggest robbery in history. His objective is to recruit a group
of criminals, who have nothing to lose in life, to enter the building and stay inside
for several days to earn 2.4 billion euros. In the third and fourth seasons the main
plot changes and, this time, the objective of the gang is to rob the Bank of Spain
to get the gold that is inside the vault. It begins centered on the character of the
"professor", a guy who is planning a robbery at the National Mint, but this robbery
is not just any robbery, it has been meticulously planned for many years by the
professor. With which we can say that the teacher has considered many
scenarios and has practically everything under control, so the teacher is not just
any assailant. To carry out this robbery, recruit some characters that I will
describe later.
Characters Description:

Tokio: Tough, impulsive, with apparent


lack of empathy. His life was always a
seesaw. Tokyo entered the world of
crime at the age of 14, following in the
footsteps of her 28-year-old boyfriend.
Since then she has been alternating
periods of normality, with her
conventional work, with others linked to
all kinds of robberies.

Inspector: The inspector, the


policeman responsible for the
kidnapping. This matter comes to
Inspector Raquel Murillo at the worst
moment. The kidnapping with hostages
that she has to negotiate falls at the
children's party of her 7-year-old
daughter Paula. With a growing tension
in her life from the impossible handling
of a custody taken from her ex-

that no one would associate a priori
with any criminal plan. Dialogue, fine
irony and self-taught, is the antithesis of
any of the individuals that make up his
band. Of superior intelligence, he has
planned for years to the smallest detail
of the operation. He seems to know
everything, anticipate everything from
his observation post abroad. However,
he did not count on establishing such a

specializing in jewelry theft. He entered
the world of crime to maintain the very
high standard of living to which he was
used from the cradle. He is a man who
knows how to have good manners, who
believes himself superior to the rest of
the band, whom he intimately despises.
But he also knows how to be brutal and
direct when appropriate.

childhood who had to make a living
making forgeries. Pregnant and

between the large bottles in the

drugs and perhaps because of such
abuse, there is a connection in his
brain that jumps into "hot-tempered
mode" for no reason. It generates
tension where it happens, and it is
better not to treat it excessively.

Estocolmo: Monica Gaztambide is


one of those women who always looks
at the wrong man at the worst possible
moment. After several failures in the
opposition to a high-ranking official,
Mónica managed to pass the exam
that allowed her to act as secretary to

man who demolished her. La

Helsinki: Serbian. It is the brute force


of the group. Little is known about him,
beyond the evident past of violence
and harshness that he has lived
through; and the little inclination to
dialogue and ask questions in the face
of the difficulties that he shows in the
present. He's the perfect shock trooper
in The Professor's plan.
Bogotá: Bogotá, recruited into the
Bank of Spain heist due to his
background in metallurgy, has
apparently had an active love life. He
has seven children with different
women around the world and keeps
photos of them, but only visits them
once every six months. He has a
history with Berlin and Palermo, and
met the professor and Marseille at the
fifth Berlin wedding.
