England, early 20th century. The future writer and philologist John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) and three of his schoolmates create a strong bond between them as they share the same passion for literature and art, a true fellowship that strengthens as they grow up, but the outbreak of World War I threatens to shatter it.

Following an initial misunderstanding between an older couple and a young family, fate takes a hand in bringing both parties closer together. One small act of kindness is then reciprocated by a very big one.
