Film Screening: The Thieves + Q&A with Director Choi Dong-hoon

'The Thieves' begins after a large heist, where five of Korea’s most infamous thieves jump at the chance to get out of town when offered a job in Macao. Their goal is to steal the ‘Tear of the Sun’, a 318-carat diamond worth over $20 million held at the Macao Casino. The brain behind the break-in is Macao Park who has assembled his own Chinese team to join the crew. However, tensions run high when personal histories get in the way of the present and some of the criminals have their own agenda to keep the diamond for themselves.
