In this new comedy from Morris Panych, we meet Alma, a seasoned career shoplifter who prefers the five-finger discount over a seniors’ day deal. But it’s not just an empty wallet that leads Alma to a life of petty crime.
Along for the ride is Phyllis, Alma’s less-cool accomplice. When they’re caught shoplifting, Alma does the talking—facing off against Dom, an eager rookie ready to call the cops, until his easygoing partner Otto steps in with a more sympathetic take. As wildly different perspectives collide, complex views on morality and ethics begin to emerge.
Panych’s comedy offers biting observations about society’s haves and have-nots and how much they might actually have in common.
“A rich, smart comedy.”
