Peter & Wendy

Young Lucy is seriously ill, and it is a difficult walk for her and her mother Julie to move back into Great Ormond Street Hospital, where Lucy is to undergo surgery quickly to save her life. While the warm, supportive atmosphere of the hospital, with its comfortingly affectionate staff, provides an extremely supportive professional sanctuary for its child to teenage patients, Lucy has just obviously misplaced her courage and is struggling mightily with her fate. When the wild tale of Peter Pan, of all things, is recommended to her as a reading, she is initially less than enthusiastic, but she soon finds a grateful audience among the children of the hospital as a brave reader, more than a few of whom are currently struggling to survive. Thus Lucy reads and dreams herself more and more intensively into the fiction of infinite youth, and when she falls into a critical coma during the operation, the power of fantasy works in a very special way...
