Overview

Four pathetic individuals live in a small town thanks to the kindness of Don Toni, a grumpy old man with a shady past, who lets them stay in his house. Despite the group's precarious financial situation, everything seems peaceful until Don Toni decides to leave the house to live in a retirement home. Suddenly, they find themselves on the street. But then Marisa appears. She works in the reservations office of the Main Theater in the nearest town and suggests they steal the box office takings the following weekend, when Star Wars: Episode I is showing. After carefully considering the matter, the quartet decides to carry out the robbery, even though they face a powerful enemy: their honor.
