La voleuse is the story of a woman who 6 years ago gave her child for adoption to a Polish worker family .Julia tells her husband that she feels a strong desire to know what happens with her son.So she travels from Berlin to the Ruhr region to spy the boy, then to give him a gift.Radek, the foster father and his wife are quite afraid by the presence of Julia who is insisting with her visits to their house.One day she kidnappes the boy and carries him to her home.Radek manages to recuperate the boy,but he has a great problem, the adoption has not been formalized.So Julia has the guardianship of the boy.Further Radek makes a strike to get the guardianship ofthe boy. I enjoyed very much this film for the excellent performances of the actors and for the description of Germany of this time.
