Crime

Lucky Jo and his three friends are little criminals, who try to live from small burglaries. But they never have luck - ever so often something inpredictable happens to Jo and gets one of them arrested. While Jo is in prison once again, they decide they'd better do without him in future. He decides to help them secretly...and unfortunately.

VIBE

A charmingly understated caper that blends the misadventures of small-time crooks with a wry sense of humor. It feels like a vintage European gem, full of character and the persistent, almost endearing, bad luck of its titular anti-hero. Expect a gentle, character-focused journey through minor mishaps.
