Film Synopsis

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...
