Synopsis: A makeshift family, struggling to survive, decides to take in a young girl in need of help.

In the outskirts of Tokyo, a poor but close-knit group living on the fringes of society survives through shoplifting and odd jobs. When Osamu and his son take in a neglected young girl, their already fragile existence begins to unravel. As the family grows attached to her, buried secrets surface, forcing them to confront the true meaning of love, belonging, and what makes a family. Shoplifters won the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards.

About the venue: This screening will be held in a beautiful, historic church building in Ravenna, at the intersection of 33rd Ave and 60th St.
