- Synopsis:
Daryne Joshua's debut feature is a portrait of life on the mean streets of Cape Town's lawless Cape Flats in the 1960's. Barely into their teens, Abraham and his three friends form a gang, more out of self-preservation than malice. As they grow up, Abraham (now played by the intense Dann-Jacques Mouton) and his gang turn to petty thievery. After he is arrested, Abraham's storytelling abilities protect him from the worst that prison life has to offer. Once he's out, he hopes to reunite with his childhood sweetheart and get his stories down on paper - if, that is, his gang friends and society give him a chance. 'Call Me Thief' is both a tribute to the human need for stories - and storytellers - and a realistic look at youth gang behavior. - Actors:
