About the Movie
Arabia, 1916. Theeb (Arabic for Wolf) lives with his Bedouin tribe in a forgotten corner of the Ottoman Empire. After the death of his father, it falls to Theeb’s brother, Hussein, to raise him. Hussein tries to teach Theeb the Bedouin way of life, but the young boy is more interested in mischief than mentorship. Then their lives are interrupted by the arrival of a British Army Officer and his guide on a mysterious mission.
