Synopsis
Young orphan Lyra (Dafne Keen) embarks on an adventure into a parallel world where a human's soul exists outside one's body - in the form of talking spirit animals called ‘daemons’ - and encounters witches, polar bears and golden compasses, all while attempting to uncover the mystery of a magical power called ‘Dust’.
