Bad seeds

 Waël is a tiny little boy hiding below the chair, trembling and watching his entire family being butchered. Orphaned Waël roams around the war ravaged town unseen and unheard by everyone. Hunger taught him lessons of survival. Finding a pair of cooling glasses, he walks around the busy markets with those glasses over his eyes and a stick in his hand. Again, no one pays attention to him. So he easily snatches purses of men and women. 

One day a nun catches him and takes him to an orphanage. That will be the beginning of long lasting attachment between Waël and Monique. 

Fast forward 20 years, the duo have a unique technique. They pick a elderly or gullible victim in airport. Waël snatches the purse of Monique and runs away. Monique screams and the victim runs behind Waël to catch the purse thief. Now Monique runs with the victim’s luggage.

But fate brings Victor as their prey one day. Victor not only catches Waël red handed, but recognises Monique - who was his ex. He gives them an option - work in his youth centre as a secretary and guide for one day or be handed over to police.

So basically it is the story of boy who becomes a thief because of circumstances and but turns around his life under a better influence. 

Does the title of the movie ‘bad seeds’ is meant to convey that there is no such thing as a bad seed, but only a bad soil?
