Summary

A biographical drama tracing the early life of author J.R.R. Tolkien, from his orphaned childhood through his school years at King Edward's, where he forms a close fellowship of artistic friends, falls in love with fellow orphan Edith Bratt, and serves in the trenches during World War I. These formative bonds and traumas shape the imagination that would later give rise to Middle-earth.
