It is a Psammead (voiced by Eddie Izzard), an ancient, ugly and irritable sand fairy the children find one day in a gravel pit. It grants them a wish a day, lasting until sunset. But they soon learn it is very hard to think of really good wishes, and each one gets them into more and more trouble. Magic, the children find, can be as awkward as it is enticing. There's fun for all the family, featuring an all-star British cast including Kenneth Branagh and Zoë Wanamaker.

Pour échapper aux dangers de la guerre et attendre le retour de leur père aviateur, cinq enfants sont envoyés chez leur oncle, un vieil excentrique qui vit dans un immense manoir. Désobéissant aux instructions qui leur ont été données, les cinq frères et s sœurs visitent une pièce interdite et découvrent un passage secret. Celui-ci les mène à une étrange créature, le génie des sables, qui semble pouvoir exaucer les rêves les plus fous...
