4 kids and it

Synopsis

The film is based on Jacqueline Wilson’s best-selling contemporary update of the 1902’ classic Five Children and It by E. Nesbit.

4 kids and it

New couple Alice and David take their less than enthusiastic children on a family holiday in a Cornwall cottage to meet each other for the first time. The holiday takes an unexpected turn when the kids discover a magical (and very grumpy!) Psammead (Caine) on the local beach, a creature with the power to grant wishes which lasts until sunset. They also meet local oddball Tristan (Brand), who wants to capture the Psammead for his own gain.

The ensuing adventure brings the new siblings together and teaches them to accept their parents’  new- found happiness.
