Warning: Spoilers
This is a film about two mischievous young men who went into the city to make trouble. In the beginning I thought it was a comedy, but in the end I thought it was quite a sad movie.

(Spoilers) In the beginning of the film, the two kids went to rob a supermarket. They stole a lot of things, because they wanted to become rich. After that, the kids were arrested. One was put into jail, but the other was under 14 years old so her was not legally responsible for his actions, and hence he did not go into jail. The younger kid felt guilty of putting his friend in prison, and hence did anything to try to save him. He met an ex-policeman, and he agreed to help them. In the end, the young kid and the ex-policeman became good friends, formed a happy family with the young kid's single mother.

In the beginning of the film, I found it very funny. The scenes where the kids stole things, and also begged on the streets were entertaining. Towards the middle of the film, when the young kid met the ex-policeman, the film started to get boring. They spent a lot of time together, playing cards, singing and dancing. This was to show that they were very good friends, but it was just too long. And then towards the end of the film, I didn't understand why a woman would support the point of view of a man who had been inside the ladies' toilet. Also, why would the mother of the young kid suddenly meet the ex-policeman and held hands together? The ending was too abrupt, I didn't understand the ending. Maybe this gives some room for the audience to imagine what happened, but I prefer films that tells you what the ending is, instead of having to guess the ending.
