Nim is a young girl who lives with her father who is a scientist. Because he studies the sea the two of them live on an island all on their own – no neighbours or shops or movie theatres! When her dad goes to sea leaving Nim on her own, she has to cope with one disaster after another and finally calls on the writer of her favourite storybook hero to come and help her when her dad doesn’t return. What she doesn’t know is that the author is really a woman who suffers from agoraphobia (never leaves her house) and so she begins her own adventure to try to save Nim. A great movie with adventure and fun all the way through.
