Storyline:
A young boy in 14th century Cumbria (north of England) keeps getting visions he cannot explain. His village has so far been spared from the black death, but the villagers fear its imminent arrival. With the boy as their guide, a group set out to dig a hole to the other side of the world, so as to fulfil the visions and save the village. At the ‘other side’ is 20th century New Zealand !.. N.B. Flips from B+W to colour frequently.
User review:
This film is almost unknown. None of the cast ever achieved fame, and Vincent Ward, while an able director, is not very prolific. However, I still cherish my memories of this movie. I saw it nearly 11 years ago, and every detail , and all of the performances, are still fresh in my mind. It is a fantasy of extraordinary beauty, which does not use a single special effect, and which conveys the thoughts and beliefs of “mediaeval” peasants better than a dozen high-priced epics.

I remember renting this when it first came out in the late 80’s. would love a reup!
too late again, file’s not available anymore. This is such a great movie, a secret tip. Saw it many years ago and would have loved to view it once again after all this time. Well, I’m sure one day it’ll cross my paths again.
