Come Away

• Fantasy
• Adventure

Before the fantastical realms of Wonderland and Neverland, “Come Away” reimagines the childhoods of Alice and Peter as siblings grappling with profound loss. Following the death of their brother, the film unfolds a bittersweet and visually arresting exploration of grief, not through direct depiction, but via the blossoming of individual escapes into fantastical worlds. Each child’s burgeoning imagination becomes a desperate, and increasingly separate, attempt to revive a fractured family and pull their parents back from the brink of despair, creating a poignant tension between the comforting allure of fantasy and the harsh realities of a Victorian-era family in crisis. This isn’t a simple origin story, but a melancholic study of how trauma shapes identity and the heartbreaking necessity of letting go, even of the most cherished illusions, as children begin to forge their own paths.
