34岁的离婚老爸，渴望着每半年一次把儿子们带回家生活的两周幸福时光。但他的生活混乱失序，再加上严厉的前妻、女友的情绪、忽然造访的损友…难道只想做个两星期的‘一个好爸爸’，真有这么困难？美国独立制片的标准范本，简单、直接，仿佛纪录片般的写实和残酷。

本片是2008年戛纳电影节导演双周单元的闭幕影片。该片的24岁的纽约作家－导演的银幕处女作。影片描写一位有强烈好奇心的年轻妇女的大胆的
行窃行为.
A curious and lost Eleonore looks for something everywhere, even in the bags of strangers who find themselves sadly smiling only
well after she's left their lives. They owe her their thanks.
Eleonore is a pickpocket, a con artist and a thief. She'll pilfer your purse, your car, a handful of grapes or a litter of kittens.
She robs out of need, curiosity or maybe just for the hell of it. From the hipster bars of the Lower East Side to the cages of
Central Park Zoo, Eleonore steals her way through life in New York City - plus the occasional road trip to Boston - with a
freewheeling spontaneity that may lead her to most unexpected score of all. Eleonore Hendricks and director Joshua Safdie star in
this breezily lo-fi look at slacker larceny - co-written by Hendricks and Safdie and shot guerilla-style on the streets of NYC -
that rocked The Director's Fortnight at Cannes to become one of the most talked-about indie sensations of the year.
