One World Film Festival presents "Shoplifters"
In this feature film, Osamu and his son come across a little girl in the freezing cold following one of their shoplifting sessions. At first reluctant to shelter the girl, Osamu's wife agrees to take care of her after learning of 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, testing the bonds that unite them.
