Their mother is supportive and loving, filling their minds with stories of adventure and mystery which she recites by the fireplace at night. She becomes ill, however, and one day upon returning home from school, Tolkien finds her slumped in her chair, dead. </p><p>Father Francis becomes the boys' legal guardian, and eventually finds a kindly rich woman who agrees to take them in, providing them with room and board while they continue their childhood education. There, Tolkien meets <a href="/wiki/Edith_Tolkien" title="Edith Tolkien">Edith Bratt</a>, the woman's only other ward. Tolkien is taken with Edith, whose piano playing he admires, and the two become friends. </p><p>At school, Tolkien immediately shows talent with languages, earning rough treatment from a rival classmate, Robert Gilson. When the two boys get into a fight, the headmaster — Robert's father — orders that they spend all of their time together for the remainder of the term. While both initially resent the assignment, Tolkien is soon accepted into Robert's small circle of friends, and the four — Tolkien, Gilson, Christopher Wiseman, and Geoffrey Smith — form a close friendship, the TCBS or "Tea Club and Barrovian Society", which grows with the years, even as they attend separate universities. Meanwhile, Tolkien continues his friendship with Edith, falling in love with her. Father Francis finds out about their relationship and recognizes that it is affecting Tolkien's grades, and so forbids him from pursuing her while under his guardianship. Tolkien is distraught, not wanting to lose the priest's financial support of his schooling. He relates the conversation to Edith, promising they will be able to be together when he reaches 21, the age of majority, but she instead ends the relationship. One night, Tolkien wakes his whole school, the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Oxford" title="University of Oxford">University of Oxford</a>, in the middle of the night when, drunk, he walks out onto the lawn, yelling in one of the many <a href="/wiki/Languages_constructed_by_J._R._R._Tolkien" class="mw-redirect" title="Languages constructed by J. R. R. Tolkien">languages he invented</a>. Several professors yell at him from the windows until Tolkien collapses into Smith's arms, sobbing, and tells Smith that Edith wrote to him, telling him that she is engaged. </p><p>Tolkien struggles at Oxford but attracts the attention of Professor <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Wright_(linguist)" title="Joseph Wright (linguist)">Joseph Wright</a>, a prominent philologist. Tolkien realises that language is his true passion and enrolls in Wright's class. When the <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">First World War</a> breaks out, he and his friends all enlist in the armed forces. Before Tolkien leaves, he finds Edith in the crowd, and Edith realises that she still loves him. She decides to break off her engagement with the other man, and the two declare their love for each other, sharing a kiss before Tolkien leaves. At the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Somme" title="Battle of the Somme">Battle of the Somme</a>, suffering from <a href="/wiki/Trench_fever" title="Trench fever">trench fever</a>, Tolkien goes to look for Smith, convinced that he is calling him, but is unable to find him and collapses unconscious. He wakes in a hospital weeks later with Edith by his side, to find that Smith and Gilson have been killed; Wiseman survived but is left traumatised and unable to speak. </p><p>Years later, Tolkien and Edith are married with <a href="/wiki/Tolkien_family" title="Tolkien family">four children</a>. Now a professor at <a href="/wiki/Pembroke_College,_Oxford" title="Pembroke College, Oxford">Oxford</a> himself, Tolkien decides to try his hand at writing a children's adventure book. The film ends with him inspired to write the famous opening line of <i>The Hobbit</i>: "In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tolkien_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Hoult" title="Nicholas Hoult">Nicholas Hoult</a> as <a href="/wiki/J._R._R._Tolkien" title="J.
