Hristo Simeonov

Synopsis

Nina is an adolescent, who makes a living as a pickpocket in the mean streets of the big city, as her hometown in the countryside holds no options or future. This modern take on Oliver Twist also has its own Fagin character – one who keeps Nina in his grasp of crime and dependency. But when Nina is caught stealing one day, she’s given an opportunity to change her criminal ways … But is there really any alternatives for someone like Nina?
