Total, a young bank cashier, sees his life, with its grey, dismal prospects, as disappointing. He envies the wealth of many of his clients, often accumulated though criminal or corrupt activities.
After surviving an armed robbery, he decides to start a new life, as a thief. Resigning from his job, he begins discreetly with small robberies in supermarkets, progressing to larger frauds, including of a former client, a butcher.
He enjoys the new clothes, new cars and new women but his neuroticism and social conscience pose problems.
Property is No Longer Theft was released on July 1, 1973. It was distributed by Titanus.[1]
