Summary
A young woman has just started working at a sombre café
beside a desolate car park. Her first few days here prove
to be more eventful than she could have imagined... First, an
unarmed bandit tries to run off with the till. Then, two amateur
kidnappers try to abduct a suicidal teenager. Two singers talk
about a hit that was stolen from them. A gang of
seventy-year-olds, all former bank robbers, reminisce about the good
old days before setting out to find a safe hideout. It seems that
everyone wants to be a gangster these days...
