Violette loses her job in a bank after a heated argument with her boss. Her good-for-nothing boyfriend François is unable to hold a job down for more than a few days and so is unable to make up the shortfall in their household income. With bills to pay and mouths to feed (including that of their eighteen month baby), the couple realise that they must do something, so they decide to take up shoplifting as a profession. At first, Violette and François prove to be remarkably adept in their new life of crime. But then Violette is caught red-handed and the game is over. Or is it…? —filmsdefrance.com
