Shoplifters is a multilayered discussion of poverty and survival. On the margins of Tokyo, a dys functional band of outsiders is united by fierce loyalty and a penchant for petty theft. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence. The film is contemplative and loud as it explores these complex characters and their relationships.
