Shoplifters

In Tokyo, a poor but close-knit group living on the fringes of society survives through shoplifting and odd jobs. Lily Franky as Osamu Shibata, Sakura Ando as Nobuyo Shibata, and Miyu Sasaki as Yuri form an unconventional family after taking in a neglected young girl, Aki Shibata (Mayu Matsuoka). As they bond over their shared experiences of poverty and insecurity, buried secrets surface, forcing them to confront the true meaning of love, belonging, and what makes a family. The film explores themes of family relationships, poverty, and social realism, set against the backdrop of a Japanese city struggling with economic hardship.
