The lives of two deaf-mute kids, Ben and Rose, are separated by almost fifty years. Nevertheless, they share a strong bond. They both set off on a journey which takes them to the same places in New York at different points of time. Answers to unanswered questions are at their fingertips. Wonderstruck is an homage to film, playfulness, curiosity and the innocence of childhood that must never be forgotten. This mystery drama is an adaptation of a novel by Brian Selznick.
