Zlodeji a svedkovia

Marisia, Janut, Gregor and Borko are immigrants in Vienna, trying hard, and by the strangest means, to become part of a new society. Material security is not easily won, so they often resort to stealing. Lonely people who long to improve their finances but above all to belong somewhere, they cannot avoid theft, infidelity and estrangement on the way to their ideals. Some escape into memories of a carefree childhood, others try to repress their past and run from it, and one is given a chance to correct an old mistake only to learn that time cannot be turned back. In two parts, Thieves and Statements, their accounts interweave out of chronological order, each adding new facts to the others, around one question: where a person belongs and which choice leads to happiness.
