The Thieving Magpie
2025, French. Directed by Robert Guédiguian.
When a grandmother's love for her grandson pushes her over the line.
Maria, who's not as young as she used to be and who helps people older than her, is living from hand to mouth. She can't quite accept her precarious situation and steals a few euros here and there from all those lovely people she looks after with such devotion, and who adore her for it… But after an accusation of abuse of a vulnerable person, Maria winds up in police custody.
