Movie Synopsis: Robbed of their future, now they must rob for a living. An aging man and his young son, a married couple, a young father of an infant, an 18-year-old delinquent, and a 23-year-old pedicab driver with a dysfunctional family all live an old dilapidated tenement building in Quiapo. But this is not all they have in common. They are a bunch of TIRADORS-local slang for petty thieves. Some snatch jewelry, others dare to steal electronics displayed in stores and sidewalks, and one of them acts like Robin Hood – sharing his meager takings to those in need. As they approach Holy Week and an upcoming national election, each has to go through the motions of committing crimes and suffering its consequences against a backdrop of politicians feverishly campaigning and promising a better life for them.
