Shoplifters
Shoplifters
On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders are united by loyalty, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence.

The Japanese equivalent of a Ken Loach movie. It questions roles in society and within the family. Are they earnt or bestowed?
It takes a bit of time to make its point but when it does it's nicely set-up to give you plenty to chew over.
