The Bank
A bank 1. évad
A rendszerváltás utáni időszak zűrzavarába röpít vissza a tízrészes észt tévéfilmsorozat, amely egy feltörekvő banki vállalkozás kirobbanó sikerének, drámai küzdelmeinek és lassú hanyatlásának történetén keresztül mutatja be a kelet-európai sors fonákságait, amelyek borzongatóan, ugyanakkor mulattatóan ismerősek lehetnek a régiónkban mindenhol.
A szovjet birodalom megszűnésével Észtország hirtelen a világ figyelmének középpontjában találja magát. A kirobbanó gazdasági növekedés hullámára az elsők közt száll fel a Nordpank nevű pénzintézet, élén egy rendhagyó elmékből álló csapattal, akikkel szemben a régi, nehézkes bankoknak semmi esélyük tartani a tempót. A Nordpank vezetésének kulcsfigurái az Ülje és Kalju Tamm házaspár, akik egy benzinkút boltjában fedezik fel Toomast, a matamatikazsenit. Toomas, aki addig csak az orosz huligánokkal folytatott utcai verekedésekben bontakozott ki cimboráival, csakhamar bankjuk kereskedelmi termének élére kerül. A hirtelen fellendülés után persze a válság sem várat sokat magára, és hamarosan feltűnnek a színen a tőkeerős, angol és svéd pénzügyi játékosok. Vajon egy észt banknak ebben az erőtérben mennyi esélye van megőrizni függetlenségét?
A kilencvenes évek szabadságmámorától a 2008-as pénzügyi válság traumájáig ível a sorozat cselekménye, amelynek lebilincselő érzelmi hullámvasútra ragadja el a nézőt, miközben látványvilága is sziporkázóan ötletes.
