The Grifters are phantoms of the street who rise and fall with the shifting diet-styles of modern Japan. These fast-food scammers use refined rhetoric skills and differing modi operandi to outwit street vendors. Oshii employs a revolutionary technique called gsuperlivemationh creating a 3D-CG mockumentary style work performed by simple paper puppets in a theatre.
