The unlikely gang of unwitting, time-travelling criminals is back in action, following Non ci resta che il crimine (2019) and Ritorno al crimine (2021), directed by Massimiliano Bruno. Their goal in this third film is to return to 1943, to the days preceding 8 September, and steal Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, from the French. In their travels they meet famous characters and stumble into real historical events in an Italy overwhelmed by WWII.
By the end of the fast animated opening sequences, over the film titles, the gang has already stolen the Mona Lisaand is now by the aqueduct of ancient Monterano. Everything seems to be going well, the three prepare to return to the present-day with their haul. The time-travel portal is located in Camogli, however it will not be simple to travel through Italy in the chaotic aftermath of the armistice, amidst Nazis, Fascists and partisan fighters (“they haven’t built the A1 motorway yet!”).
The Fascist party headquarters where Moreno (Marco Giallini) and Claudio (Giampaolo Morelli) are taken after blowing up a bridge on the orders of Sandro Pertini (Rolando Ravello) and his group of partisans is Villa D’Antoni Varano, in via Barengo 182, northwest of Rome. King Victor Emanuel is expected to arrive at the Castle of Crecchio, actually Brancaccio Castle in San Gregorio da Sassola, to the east of Rome. El juego de las llaves Season 1 - Episode 5
As the story unfolds, the band’s priority is to help Adele (Carolina Crescentini) rescue her daughter, Monica, the child who will become Moreno’s mother, from a Nazi ship travelling to Naples. On a beach in Bacoli, near the Marina Grande dock, Claudio improvises a conversation in pure Neapolitan dialect to find out if the ship has docked: the headquarters of the Nazi army in Naples is actually the Castle of Santa Severa, in the Macchiatonda Nature Reserve, on the Lazio coastline north of Rome. On the beach there the Germans organize a firing squad and an unlikely battle between Nazis and the Magliana Gang breaks out.
The production also shot in Cerreto di Spoleto and on part of the disused Spoleto-Norcia trainline in Umbria. Guion y diálogo For viewers who enjoy psychological

Guion y diálogo
For viewers who enjoy psychological tension mixed with sensuality, this episode is a masterclass in slow-burn destruction. For those expecting pure escapism, it’s a wake-up call.

El juego de las llaves (TV Series 2019– ) - Episode list - IMDb
The allure of lies in its ability to engage viewers on multiple levels, from its surface-level entertainment to its deeper exploration of human nature. Episode 5 is a testament to the series' potential to spark conversations, evoke emotions, and perhaps even challenge one's perspectives on life and relationships.
The episode opens with Adriana (Maite Perroni) still reeling from the events of the previous game, where her husband Oscar (Humberto Busto) was confronted with her desires and the reality of the "Game of Keys". In an attempt to regain some sense of control and to save her marriage from boredom and resentment, Adriana decides to try and spice things up by initiating a new sexual fantasy with Oscar. However, the wounds from the game are still fresh; her attempt to introduce fantasy into their intimacy may not land as she hoped, highlighting the difficulty of returning to a sense of normalcy after a significant emotional breach.
Finally, the episode takes a deeply introspective look at Valentín (played by ). As the taglines suggest, Valentín "relishes in his imagination his repressed desires". His arc begins to delve into the fundamental problem he has been hiding, suggesting a secret that could not only change his marriage but also his entire understanding of himself, setting the stage for significant character revelations later in the season. One notable scene even showcases a surprisingly tender moment between Rubén and Valentín, one that goes beyond physical attraction to offer a raw, honest moment of mutual recognition—a stark contrast to the series' usual performative sexuality.
