INHALT
The story follows four children on a family holiday in Cornwall. On the beach, they meet a creature called Psammead who has the powers to grant wishes. They also meet local oddball Tristan who wants to capture the Psammead for his own gain.
New couple Alice (Paula Patton) and David (Matthew Goode) take their less than enthusiastic children on a family holiday in a Cornwall cottage to meet each other for the first time. The holiday takes an unexpected turn when the kids discover a magical (and very grumpy!) Psammead on the local beach, a creature with the power to grant wishes. They also meet local oddball Tristan (Russell Brand), who wants to capture the Psammead for his own gain. The ensuing adventure brings the new siblings together and teaches them to accept their parents new found happiness.
