England, early 20th century. The future writer and philologist John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) and three of his schoolmates create a strong bond between them as they share the same passion for literature and art, a true fellowship that strengthens as they grow up, but the outbreak of World War I threatens to shatter it.
A sensitive portrayal of a young scholar’s obsession with language breathes life into the origins of Middle-earth. This biographical drama captures how wartime trauma and childhood friendships forged the legendary mythologies of a literary icon.
