Lilly Dillon è una bella donna che, per conto del potente allibratore Bobo Justus, fa scommesse di copertura utili ad abbassare le quote più elevate che costituiscono un potenziale rischio. Nel compiere il suo lavoro non manca di "grattare" sempre qualcosa al suo capo e tenerlo per sé. Suo figlio Roy è anche lui un truffatore che vive di piccoli colpi. A seguito di uno di questi, non andato a segno, riceve una bastonata all'addome che gli provoca un'emorragia interna che lentamente lo fiacca. Quando Lilly, solitamente operante sulla costa est, deve recarsi all'ippodromo di La Jolla, in California, e dopo ben otto anni si ferma a Los Angeles per visitare Roy, lo trova in condizioni gravissime. Chiamato un dottore della malavita, la donna riesce a salvare la vita del figlio in extremis.

LINCOLN IS CRYING: The Grifters, Grafters and Governors of Illinois is a scathing indictment of politics in the "Land of Lincoln"...and it's funny too. The new documentary from filmmakers John Davies and Brian Kallies presents a funny/sad look at the pervasive, deep-rooted culture of political corruption in Illinois. Why focus on Illinois? Well, it's the most corrupt state in America and home to Chicago, the most corrupt city in America. LINCOLN IS CRYING is a cautionary tale for all other states and given what's happening in national politics, it couldn't be timelier.

The Gunslinger Grifter Logan /
A world once kept peaceful and beautiful by the benevolent forces of Magic, now lies in ruins with but one exception: The Federation. This totalitarian State run by a ruthless Overlord, is ever looking to expand its rule and stake its voracious appetite for the world's most precious resources wherever or whatever they may be. From the wastelands comes Grifter Logan - a lone wanderer who some believe is the key to the Federation's ultimate destruction, foretold in bygone prophesies. The Overlord is well aware that as one-by-one the omens are coming to pass, not just the survival of the Federation is at stake, so is his very own. Equally determined to protect the Chosen One and guide him to his ultimate fate is an ambitious Wizard, for whom the destruction of the Federation is not just a moral cause; it's a personal one.

Shin onna tachiguishi retsuden / 2007
"Tachiguishi", that is to say, grifters who make it their profession to "eat-and-run", was created by the world-famous filmmaker, Mamoru Oshii. In 2006, he directed "Tachigui -- the Amazing Lives of the Fast Food Grifters", a feature film which was made using a new technique called superlive-mation. It combined fact and fiction to tell daring stories of professional grifters, leaving viewers with a feeling of nostalgia for the Showa era. Following that, another movie has been completed. This new live-action film, "Eat and Run - 6 Beautiful Grifters" was made with the objective of filming its main actresses as beautifully as possible. The film is made up of six episodes directed by five different directors who rose to the challenge, two of which star Oshii himself.
