I found this short film to be somewhat entertaining. This is a story of two men who are professional pickpockets. The duo sets up scams in order to steal people's wallets and take their money and credit cards. When they begin to be followed a young child, they decide to take him in. He appears to have no parents, and to be a deaf mute. The men cannot communicate with the boy, even through sign language. They start to use the boy in their pickpocket scams, and after a while, the boy begins to catch on. He develops his own successful method of theft when he is taken to the movies one day. The boy earns a plethora of money for the two men who have taken him in. However, by the final shot of the short film, it is apparent that the young child doesn't comprehend the consequences of his actions.
The film is pretty cute little comedy, especially the scenes with the young boy. It's nice to see a different side of the two pickpockets when they take in the young boy. I would recommend this short film, although, it's not as good as some others that I have seen.
