Nina is trapped into a web of dependency, as bossy and malicious Vassil trains her to become a skilled pickpocket in the streets of an unwelcoming metropolis. When caught red-handed, Nina is given the chance to veer off her criminal ways – but do outcasts like Nina get a second bite of the apple? Α modern take on the Oliver Twist legacy that seeks salvation amidst a world of cruelty.
