For media educator
Finn Dome Karukoski's first directorial for a Hollywood studio tells the story of the world-famous author J.R.R. From Tolkien's early childhood until adulthood. The period focuses on the moment that inspired Tolkien to write his future works. The film follows the life of a young boy, first in a single-parent family, then in a foster family. The beginnings of life are not the best for an enthusiastic and talented boy, but efforts are rewarded, and Tolkien gets to study at a good school.
