„Tombaroli” (eng. „Tomb robbers”) is the first film from an upcoming youtube series of documentary tales from around the world „Short Stories”.

Somewhere in Italy, there is an old Etruscan city with an even more impressive Etruscan necropolis. Many ancient tombs, hiding spectacular treasures, have not been discovered yet. Some people decide to look for them by themselves, against the law and possible consequences. In the film we follow 3 tomb robbers on their hunt and a guardian protecting the necropolis. Can this be real?
