De Tasjesdief plot
The film tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy who is forced by his grandmother's robbers to steal women's purses. For fear of retaliation, he does not dare to tell anything about the events at home and gradually ends up in isolation. Meanwhile, the ruthless robbers continue their harassment and blackmail. When the exasperated boy, mellowed by the affair, steals five hundred guilders from a defenseless blind woman, he realizes that he has gone way too far. He decides to take matters into his own hands and deal with his attackers once and for all.
