Set in the Papua New Guinea province of Bougainville during an ongoing civil war, Mr. Pip stars Golden Globe-winner Hugh Laurie (House) as the enigmatic teacher Mr Watts, the only white man left on the island after the blockade. He opens the school and introduces the children the 'Great Expectations.' Matilda, the teenage narrator finds comfort in the story of a Victorian orphan when her own world is falling apart. The Redskins, an army sent to destroy the local rebels are getting closer. Matilda writes 'Pip' in the sand. This simple act leads to terrible consequences when the Redskins suspect Pip to be a rebel leader and demand he be brought before them. A wonderful tale of the imaginative power of story reveals that on an island at war, fiction can have dangerous consequences. (official distributor synopsis)
