The documentary presents a series of pickpockets who have elevated pickpocketing to an art form. We delve into their personal and professional lives and discover the mentality and spirit behind such thefts. We hear 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 the systems, laws and conditions of detention in different prisons across Europe. Some are incurably ill, 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 spend their time constructively.
