A motion picture event the whole family can believe in. In 1917 two English girls photographed fairies in their garden, causing a stir throughout England and prompting the world to question the existence of fairies. The images are certified as authentic, with no trace of trickery and in the midst of the first world war, people are encouraged to believe again in magic. Among them are master illusionist Harry Houdini, and renowned author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
