Eran Thomson is a screenwriter, filmmaker, and director who, even on holiday, can put together on an i-phone in a morning's inspirational playfulness what others might take months and fortunes to capture, and possibly never achieve in spontaneity and delight. The Dhal Burglar is a novice thief, driven only by the motives of her heart, and to say more is to spoil the suspense and fun.
