The movie

In collaboration with City of Neuchâtel.
A boy discovers a magical book in his school’s attic. It tells the story of a young warrior who must, with the help of his dragon Falkor, save the fantastic world of Fantasia. A cult classic!

Bastien is a withdrawn young boy who is often bullied by his classmates. He finds it difficult to adjust to the untimely passing of his mother. Fond of reading, he escapes from his everyday struggles through adventure novels. One day, as he is running from his bullies, he finds shelter in a strange library where he discovers a mysterious book entitled The Neverending Story. When he starts reading it, he is transported into the wonderful world of Fantasia and sets out on a journey that could change his life. Adventure, fantastical creatures, Limahl’s unforgettable hit song – nearly 40 years later, the pleasure is still the same.
