Movie Synopsis
Set in 1940 during the Blitz, the Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were evacuated from their home Finchley, London after german bombers almost destroyed their house. The children are sent by train into the english countryside where they are picked up at a station by Mrs. Macready. Mrs. Macready then takes them to the country home of Digory Kirke , a professor. One rainy day while they were playing Hide and Seek, Lucy discovered a wardrobe and, through it, entered a world called Narnia. She spent several hours in the home of the faun, Mr. Tumnus, who explained that the White Witch cursed Narnia, and it had been winter for a century. In accordance with her orders, if a human is ever encountered, a Narnian must bring them to her. However, Tumnus liked Lucy and regretted his plan, so he sent her out of the Wardrobe. When she returned, hardly any time had passed in the normal world during her stay. She made the other children check the Wardrobe, but the portal was gone.
