Synopsis:

Nicolás meets the woman of his dreams, Ingrid, and the son he never had but suddenly longs for all at once one morning on the airplane taking them from Alicante to Barcelona. Her husband, a French Air Force Captain, died recently in Bosnia. Raúl is 8 and has a powerful imagination. From this moment on, the love shared among the three of them is perfect until suddenly Ingrid decides it's all over.

Erstwhile Alejandro Amenabar producer Jose Luis Cuerda returns to his favorite theme -- the transformational power of a child-like imagination -- in the engagingly idiosyncratic 'The Education of Fairies,' based on a bestselling French novel. Featuring a quartet of fine perfs but also a plotline that shuttles uncertainly between timeless concerns of the heart and contempo issues, pic is perhaps best seen as a study in how to confront loss.
