Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Palme d’Or winning film Shoplifters follows a unique family with dark secrets in this extraordinary family-crime drama
Osamu Shibata (Lily Franky) is a day laborer, his wife Nobuya (Sakura Ando) is a hotel laundry worker, and their daughter Aki is a hostess at a peep show club. They don’t make enough to survive and have to rely on grandmother Hatsue’s (Kirin Kiki) monthly pension. To make extra cash, Nobuya steals little trinkets from her clients’ laundry. On the other hand, Osamu, along with his son Shota (Kairi Jo), goes to convenient stores to shoplift for their household needs. On their way home from a successful operation, Osamu and Shota chance upon Yuri (Miyu Sasaki), a little girl left by her parents outside their house in the cold. Deciding it’s unsafe for her to stay there, Osamu takes Yuri home to their rundown house.
