Shoplifters

Watch Trailer
“Boasting excellent performances all round, SHOPLIFTERS is another charming, funny and very affecting example of [director] Kore-eda’s special brand of tough-but-tender humanism. – Geoff Andrew, Time Out

After one of their shoplifting sessions, Osamu and his son come across a girl in the freezing cold. At first reluctant to  shelter the girl, Osamu’s wife agrees to take care of her after learning the hardships she faces. Although the family is poor, barely making enough money to survive through petty crime, they seem to live happily together until an unforeseen incident reveals hidden secrets and tests the bonds that unite them.
