A psychological and magical journey that explores the inextricable link between life and invention, between a writer and her most famous character.
England, 1931. In a secluded cottage in Sussex, writer PL Travers struggles with the silence of her typewriter. At the stroke of midnight, the east wind brings with it an unexpected guest: Mary Poppins herself. Through a series of fantastical encounters with surreal characters like Topsy-Turvy and Nelly Rubina, the perfect nanny forces Pamela to embark on a painful journey: down the drawers of her memory lane.
The tape of time rewinds to Australia in 1907. Between the rustling sugarcane fields and the acrid smell of dust, little Helen Goff (Pamela’s real name) lives her childhood suspended between the wonder of fairy tales and the shadow of melancholy. At the center of her universe revolves her father, Travers Goff . A magnetic man, capable of transforming a common potato into a gold shilling to the amazement of his children, but fatally destined to succumb to his own inner demons and alcoholism.
