Lewis tale, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are sent to live with the reclusive Professor Kirke (Jim Broadbent) in his mysterious country home during World War 2.

But an evil spell is cast on Narnia and it is now ruled by the White Witch (Tilda Swinton), who has transformed it into a frozen place, where it is always winter, but never Christmas.
