Synopsis

Young Angus MacMorrow (Alex Etel) watches in awe as the mysterious egg he found on the shores of a nearby loch hatches into something incredible. But how long can he keep his ever-growing secret from his mom (Emily Watson) — and an increasingly concerned Scottish government? Ben Chaplin, Brian Cox and David Morrissey also star in this enchanting fantasy based on Dick King-Smith’s popular children’s book.
