Kurzinhalt:
Theeb heisst deutsch Wolf. Es ist der Name eines aufgeweckten und neugierigen Beduinenjungen, der seinem älteren Bruder folgt, als
dieser im Jahr 1916 mit einem britischen Offizier auf eine heikle Begleiter-Mission in die Wüste geht und durch die verschlungenen
Täler des Wadi Rum. Wetter, Wegelagerer und Revolutionäre machen den beschwerlichen Ritt zur existenziellen Herausforderung
und zwingen Theeb schliesslich, mehr über sich hinauszuwachsen, als ihm lieb ist. Ein ebenso imposantes wie packendes Coming-of-Age
in der Wüste.

In the Ottoman province of Hijaz during World War I, a young Bedouin boy experiences a greatly hastened coming of age as he
embarks on a perilous desert journey to guide a British officer to his secret destination.

In 1916, in the Hejaz Province of the Ottoman Empire, the young Bedouin Theeb (Jacir Eid) is learning from his elder brother Hussein (Hussein
Salameh) the skills for everyday survival in their harsh environment. Immersed in a way of life that has endured for centuries, the brothers are
unaware of the tremendous upheavals taking place at the fringes of their world: the First World War is raging in Europe, the Ottoman Empire
is coming undone, the Great Arab Revolt is brewing, and the British officer T.E. Lawrence is plotting with the Arab Prince Faisal to establish
an Arab kingdom.

When British officer Edward (Jack Fox) and his Bedouin guide Marji (Marji Audeh) stumble wayward into their tribe's camp, the two brothers'
destiny is forever changed. Abiding by the Bedouin custom that guests cannot be refused aid, Hussein is assigned to accompany the two
strangers to their destination — with the uninvited Theeb, eager for adventure, following close behind. The ensuing journey, filled with danger
and hardship, will result in Theeb's greatly hastened maturation in a culture where a man's honour and righteousness determines his inclusion
or expulsion from the community.

Shot entirely on location against the ravishing landscape of Wadi Rum and Wadi Araba, and cast with non-professional actors from one of the
last of Jordan's nomadic Bedouin tribes to settle down, Naji Abu Nowar's understated gem is a remarkable accomplishment for a small crew
working on a shoestring budget. Radiating passion from every frame, Theeb is a skilful, genre-crossing blend of a coming-of-age drama and a western.

SYNOPSIS
Theeb signifie loup en français. C'est aussi le nom d'un garçon bédouin, dégourdi et curieux,
qui voudra suivre son grand frère, Hussein, chargé de conduire un officier britannique et son
guide vers un ancien puits sur la piste oubliée des pèlerins vers La Mecque. Mais la route est
dangereuse car elle traverse une contrée où rôdent hors-la-loi et révolutionnaires. L'aventure
se révèlera aussi pour Theeb une épreuve qui lui fera quitter l'enfance.
