Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, declares that pictures taken by twelve-year-old Elsie and eight-year-old Frances of fairies in flight are authentic. These photographs astound the world and forever change Elsie and Frances’ lives in 1917 England. Even Harry Houdini (Keitel) gets on the case. This fanciful period piece is based on actual events.
