Plot Summary
This film tells the story of where the inspiration came from for the classic Peter Pan story, written by J. M. Barrie (Johnny Depp). Set in Edwardian London, the film starts with the disappointing opening performance of a James Barrie play. When asked, the playwright says that he can do better.
While out walking his dog in the park he meets widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet) and her four young boys. He finds inspiration in the imagination and games of the children and a friendship develops between himself and the family. His relationship with his wife Mary (Radha Mitchell) is cold, and to escape his functional marriage he spends more and more time with the Davies family, playing with the children and working on his next play, Peter Pan.
