Thief Lord

Synopsis

A mysterious masked figure, a mix of Zorro and Robin Hood, flits over the roofs of the old city of Venice at night. He is the Thief Lord. An ancient merry-go-round with magical powers is hidden on an island in the lagoon of Venice. It can advance or reverse the age of its rider if the long-lost lion's wing is found and re-attached. The Thief Lord and his gang of ragamuffin child runaways find the wing and are drawn into a fantastic and spellbinding adventure that will leave them all changed forever.
