Synopsis

George, a lonely boy, begins to notice dragons hiding in plain sight—perched on telephone wires, lurking in bins, and even sneaking into shops. As the dragons' playful antics start causing trouble, George realises they don't belong in his world. Determined to help his new friends, he constructs a marvellous dragon machine to lead them back to their rightful home in the wilderness. This imaginative journey helps George find his own place and recognition in the world.
