Egg thieves rob the nests of rare birds while a UK national police initiative named “Operation Easter” tries to stop them. The thieves are motivated not by money but by desire for the beauty of the egg and the thrill of the chase. Thousands of eggs confiscated in police raids have been found strapped under beds, beneath floorboards, and in secret rooms.

With unprecedented access to the most notorious and inconspicuous perpetrators, this documentary delves into the psychology of the egg collectors as they confront their obsession.
