Description

In a modest attic room, three siblings—bright‑eyed Micky, thoughtful Emmeline, and mischievous Kitty—spend their afternoons inventing grand adventures for each other, their loyal fox‑terrier snoozing nearby. Their playful debates over which story to enact reveal a world where imagination turns ordinary objects into sugar‑cane rods and daring sea voyages. As the day draws to a close, the children sense an uneasy shift: the comforting routine of their home is about to be broken.

Their mother’s passing has left them under the care of Aunt Grace, a well‑meaning but hurried lady who flits between London society and the quiet house they now occupy. The trio wrestles with the mystery of her “worldly” ways, wondering whether her glamorous gatherings hide a kinder heart or a distant indifference. With their trusty dog at their feet, they brace themselves for the unknown, hoping their games and fierce loyalty will carry them through whatever comes next.
