Written and directed by Philippe Pollet-Villard, it won the 2007 Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.

Richard and Philippe live hand to mouth, backing up a gang of Romanian pickpockets on the streets of Paris, posing as policemen who arrest a gang member while the others rifle the pockets and purses of gawkers.

Then, Richard insists that they take in a wide-eyed immigrant lad, a deaf-mute left behind in the arrests.

Philippe suggests a three-person pickpocket trick, using the boy, but when that goes spectacularly badly, they hit rock bottom.
