In einer kalten Nacht begegnet das diebische Vater-Sohn-Gespann Osamu Shibata und Shota der kleinen Yuri. Sie ist verwahrlost und halb erfroren und so nimmt Osamu sie kurzerhand mit nach Hause. Nach anfänglichen Bedenken seiner Frau Nobuyo ist bald die ganze Familie, zu der auch noch Großmutter Hatsue und Halbschwester Aki gehören, begeistert von dem charmanten Neuzugang und Yuri lebt sich schnell bei der bunten Truppe, die sich mit Gaunereien und Diebstählen über Wasser hält, ein. Eines Tages wird diese Harmonie jedoch durch einen Vorfall empfindlich gestört und der Zusammenhalt der Familie durch unvorhergesehen Enthüllungen auf die Probe gestellt…

6Was andere sagen
Osamu and his wife Nobuyo can’t afford to have sex anymore. Middle-aged and marginally employed, the Shibata couple is crammed into a ramshackle apartment on the outskirts of Tokyo, along with a pre-teen son named Shota (Jyo Kairi), Nobuyo’s younger sister (Matsuoka Mayu), and the frail grandmother whose monthly pension keeps everything from falling apart. The musty hovel can hardly fit all of the life that’s stuffed inside of it; random boxes and old toys are scattered in every direction, as if everyone would rather live in the mess they’ve made than dare to remember all the things they’ve lost. Even if Osamu and Nobuyo had the time to screw around, there’d be nowhere for them to do it.But they love each other, and find other ways of expressing the bond that exists between them. “We’re connected by our hearts,” Osamu says with his impish grin, laughing it off, burying the thought somewhere in the ever-growing mountain of priceless junk that his family hoards in their apartment. He might be in denial, but he’s not wrong.The Shibatas are connected in any number of different ways: Love, money, loneliness, scars, money (money deserves to get mentioned twice). Also, petty thievery: Osamu and Shota have fun stealing things together, the duo sharing an adorable fist-bump before every robbery. And it’s good that the Shibata has so much in common, as all of those various binding agents will be put to the test over the course of Kore-eda Hirokazu’s miraculous “Shoplifters,” among the very best of the writer-director’s delicate, deceptive, and profoundly moving dramas about the forces that hold a family together (or don’t).READ THE FULL REVIEW ON INDIEWIRE
"I don't know anything else to teach them."If you have the chance to see this, please do. Its kindness feels even greater on a second viewing. You can say so much about how people live through such a simple story.
