MR PIP

In 1989, as the Bougainville Civil War rages on in Papua New Guinea, Mr. Watts (Hugh Laurie), the only white man left on the island after a blockade, re-opens the local school. He begins reading the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, which transfixes a young girl named Matilda (Xzannjah Matsi). She finds comfort in the story of a Victorian orphan, Pip, when her own world is falling apart.
