Thief Lord (Family Adventure / Completed)

Based on the fantasy novel by Cornelia Funke, THIEF LORD is a magical tale about two boys who flee to Venice after being orphaned and dumped in the care of a cruel auntie.

Hiding in the canals and alleyways of the city, the children are befriended by a gang of young urchins and their enigmatic leader, the Thief Lord. From their home base of an old cinema theatre, the children steal from the rich to support themselves and soon capture the interest of a bumbling detective. However, a greater threat to the children is something from a forgotten past - a beautiful magical treasure with the power to spin time itself...
