Little Robbers

Filmplakat für "Die kleinen Bankräuber" mit zwei Kindern in einem Feld vor einer Scheune, einem Mann im Vordergrund mit Geldscheinen und einer Maus, der Titel in großen weißen Buchstaben, Tieren wie Schwein, Kuh und Gans darüber und weiteren Texten auf blauem Himmelhintergrund.

Robby (5) is no Zorro, but he’d like to be. His sister Louise (7) thinks he’s too childish, but can’t resist the game of robbing a bank. Together they can pull off just about anything. Getting away with it is the hard part.
