Synopsis
'Stealing for love' is a study on the social value of the theft in some Roma communities in Rome. The film follows the fortunes of Romina, a Roma girl, investigated for theft by the Juvenale Court. The film tells how theft represents, in these communities, one of the basic values of family and social relations: not just an element of economic subsistence, theft is also used as an instrument of oppression of women, who are themselves robbed of their lives and freedom.
