Tales from the Magic Garden

Summary

When Tom (4), Susan (8) and Derek (10) visit their grandfather for the first time since losing their beloved grandmother, they find the house quiet and their grandfather distant. Inspired by her grandmother, Susan takes on the role of storyteller, creating enchanting tales to bring back the joy. We delve into the world of a mysterious and helpful cat, a not-so-scary monster and a very daring flying man. As the family bonds through their stories, they discover important lessons about courage, kindness and the possibility of finding light even in the darkest moments of life.

A moving film that shows us how imagination and storytelling can heal, inspire, and bring us closer to the people we love most.
