The film P®ivé is part of a documentary series based on the Ten Commandments, made for Dutch public television (IKON). P®ivé is about the commandment 'Thou shalt not steal' and illustrates the secret desire to possess… and therefore, sometimes, to steal. In P®ivé hands may adeptly pick-pocket a wallet, emphatically protest, play an illegal street game or hold a microphone. Not only do we see an old-aged lady who 'does' it too in the form of fare-dodging, but also a magician who initiates us into the diversionary tactics of pick-pocketing, and a crook who has no regrets. Director Heddy Honigmann herself turns out to also know a few things about stealing. Victims of various forms of theft tell their side of the story: your sense of security can be stolen, as well as a heart or a life. Meanwhile a stand-up comedian tells jokes about stealing and ultimately draws the viewer's attention to the greatest theft of all times: God himself.
