Michel schlägt sich in Paris mit Taschendiebstählen durch. Er glaubt, er könne sich über die geltenden Gesetze hinwegsetzen und lässt sich weder von seiner Freundin Jeanne noch von einem ihn verdächtigenden Kommissar davon abbringen. Nach und nach verfeinert er seine Technik und wird vom Amateurdieb zum Profi . Doch auch die grösste Meisterschaft kann ihn nicht vom unvermeidlichen Ende seiner kriminellen Karriere abhalten. Erst ganz am Ende realisiert er, dass die Liebe einer Frau ihn läutern und sein ganzes Leben ändern kann.

This incomparable story of crime and redemption from the French master Robert Bresson follows Michel, a young pickpocket who spends his days working the streets, subway cars, and train stations of Paris. As his compulsive pursuit of the thrill of stealing grows, however, so does his fear that his luck is about to run out. A cornerstone of the career of this most economical and profoundly spiritual of filmmakers, Pickpocket is an elegantly crafted, tautly choreographed study of humanity in all its mischief and grace, the work of a director at the height of his powers.
