Shoplifters Manbiki kazoku
On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders are united by fierce loyalty and a penchant for petty theft.

Palme d'Or at last year's Cannes.

Wisdom of Happiness blends the Dalai Lama’s inspirational words with stirring images of our planet and newly unearthed archival footage.
