The Burglars hits theaters August 12 with a loner-thief road romance

The Encounter Between Loner Eun-ja and Wandering Thief Pal-bok

The film 'The Burglars' is a road romance that tells the story of Eun-ja, who lives as a loner in her village, and Pal-bok, a thief who wanders the country robbing empty houses, as they meet and embark on an unexpected journey.

Eun-ja, who lives keeping her distance from others with a prickly attitude, encounters Pal-bok, a thief who breaks into her house one day. Pal-bok is not a simple criminal but a person wandering in search of his own romance and freedom, and he changes Eun-ja's daily life by suggesting they leave together. The first trailer released shows the two running together along a country road, featuring Eun-ja's line, "My heart is thumping."
