The story revolves around a young boy with dreams of heroism, which contrasts nicely with the teenage gang planning a gallery heist. The atmosphere shifts from whimsical to tense, revealing themes of aspiration and the chaos of youth. The performances are raw and sometimes unrefined, lending a certain charm to the film.
