Four Kids and It

A seaside getaway takes an unexpected turn in *Four Kids and It*, a heartfelt family adventure centered on the growing pains of a newly blended household. When David and his children, Ros and Robbie, join Alice and her daughter, Smash, for a holiday on the British coast, the forced proximity only deepens the tension. The children feel displaced and resentful of their parents’ burgeoning relationship, while the adults struggle to navigate the complexities of their new dynamic. The atmosphere shifts from awkward to extraordinary when the children discover a grumpy, ancient creature known as a Psammead buried in the sand. Possessing the power to grant one wish per day, the magical being warns that every desire comes with unintended, negative consequences. Eager to escape their reality, the children begin using their wishes to seek flight, superpowers, and influence over their parents’ future. However, their secret is threatened by Mr. Trent, a local man obsessed with capturing the Psammead to secure wealth and power. As the children race to protect their magical companion, they must rely on their wits and their wishes to thwart his greed. Amidst the chaos, the families are forced to confront their own emotional barriers, challenging them to move past the allure of magic and find a more honest, grounded understanding of one another.
