What is a greater offence? Stealing a chocolate bar or molesting kids in front of the school? While adults hurt children with impunity, a little girl trying to steal sweets is caught red-handed in a shop. She leaves the shop with a sense of guilt, chased by remorse. The animation, employing the camera’s a changing perspective, makes viewers look at the world through the eyes of the girl who has just committed the first offence in her life. We see how a sense of guilt is mixed with desire and the fear of punishment combines with the pleasure of committing the crime.
