Teenager Tim Walker (Jack Wolfe) arrives at prestigious Austrian Mozart boarding school run by Dr. Longbow (F. Murray Abraham). He's fallen for fellow student Sophie (Niamh McCormack). He finds a portal to another world where he's given The Magic Flute.
This story should be more compelling. There are daddy issues. There's a puppy love blooming. There's a magical portal and there is a magical flute. It should be more compelling. Part of that is Tim who seems to pop in and out of the other world with ease. There needs to be stakes in that other world, but it never feels dangerous. Also, there's another girl there and I don't know what to do with that. It would be better if he goes to the other world with Sophie and they get stuck there. Then it becomes a journey to find the way home.
