Film Description: "A provocative film about conscience, or the lack of it. An elderly woman 'finds' a purse on the bus. She takes it home and discovers it contains some money. The woman who lost the purse collects insurance. The question the film asks is: does any circumstance excuse taking what is not ours? A film for discussion." -- National Film Board of Canada (source) |
