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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender portrait of literary fellowship and youthful idealism shadowed by the gathering darkness of the First World War. It's a film about the bonds forged in schoolboy dreams and the cost of growing up.
