Duration

A tragic family drama by director Hirokazu Koreeda (Nobody Knows) that shows a different side of Japanese society than usual. When money runs short, family sometimes proves to be more important than possessions.
On the fringes of Japanese society lives a blended family that survives through petty theft and odd jobs. When they take in a neglected girl, a warm, close bond develops that slowly reveals the hidden cracks within the family.
With much compassion and subtle humor, Hirokazu Koreeda tells a touching story about poverty, love, and the meaning of family. Shoplifters is an award-winning masterpiece that poignantly questions the boundaries between right and wrong.

Show Me The Money!
Never before has money seemed so prominently present in our daily lives. From sky-high housing costs and growing wealth inequality to the power of financial markets: money increasingly determines who gets opportunities, who is left behind, and how much a human life seems to be worth. Yet the subject has occupied filmmakers for more than a century. In Show Me The Money!, we bring together eleven films that explore the many faces of money.
