Description
Winter has come early to Venice. Two orphaned children are on the run, hiding among the crumbling canals and misty alleyways of the city. They find shelter in an old, disused cinema with a gang of street children and their mysterious leader, who is known only as the Thief Lord. Their new-found freedom is threatened by a bungling detective obsessed with disguises and the health of his pet tortoises, as well as a greater danger from a forgotten past - a beautiful magical treasure with the power to spin time itself. The story unfolds in this atmospheric setting, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur.
