Arabia 1916. A Bedouin boy becomes the responsibility of his older brother after their father dies. When a British Army officer stumbles onto their tribe, the brothers agree to accompany him on a dangerous journey across the desert. The story of Naji Abu Nowar's feature debut is driven by Dakheel, a traditional Bedouin law requiring that guests be given protection regardless of the circumstances. The art of acquiring this honor transforms the boy into a man, and if he stands the test he will be worthy of the name Theeb (Wolf). (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

(50th KVIFF) Beautiful cinematography, beautiful desert setting. It exudes the atmosphere of Arabia - Lawrence is impossible to forget. Theeb was a lot of fun during the first half. The wanderings in the desert of a British official and his guides while hiding from their enemies are a good premise for a tense desert adventure. Unfortunately, the film reaches its peak about half-way through, in the attack scene, and the fun decreases together with the number of characters. By the end I was bored. 65 %
