Synopsis

Based on the classic English children's book about a young boy's journey across the boundaries of reality. Quarantined away from his sick brother, Tom is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in their small, gardenless apartment. With nothing to do and no friends, Tom spends his days bored and lonley, until a grandfather clock in the hallway mysteriously strikes thirteen and a grim back alleyway transforms into an enchanting phantom garden.
