The documentary features several pickpockets who have elevated this activity to an art form. We delve into their personal and professional lives and discover what it takes to be a thief. We get to know the stories of people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, who have had addictions, who grew up on the streets or people who have come to know first hand how it is to be imprisoned in various Europe countries. Some of the protagonists will never recover, others have become integrated into the social systems of other countries, have learned to read and write, have a social life, have a home and work hard at having a better life.
