The Thieving Magpie

Maria is a dedicated caregiver whose circumstances force her to balance the needs of her elderly charges with her own financial struggles. As she helps people far older than herself lead more comfortable lives, her personal situation is less than ideal. In order to make ends meet and cope with her precarious existence, Maria occasionally takes small amounts of money from those she attends to with such devotion. These individuals adore Maria for the care and compassion she shows them, but when a false accusation of abuse arises, Maria finds herself facing legal trouble and the disapproval of those she once served so faithfully. Navigating this unexpected twist in her life, Maria must confront the complexities of her situation and fight to regain her dignity and reputation in a world that seems determined to judge her harshly.
