Plot
Antonio's first day as a thief is marked by tears. During an incursion at the mall, his mother is arrested. Some 20 years later, Antonio along with his two inseparable friends, after some minor robberies, take on a post office. Things don't go as planned.
Sinekatalog’s take
A funny, stylish crime short that begins with a child's tearful first day in a thief's life and jumps to a botched post-office job decades later. The tone swings between sentiment and farce with good energy. Tight and entertaining for genre fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
