theme
The film moves between Travers' time at the Disney Studios in 1961 and her childhood in Australia at the beginning of the century. The young Travers has to deal with various family problems, including her father's alcoholism and illness. She witnesses him coughing up blood, and in one scene she prevents her desperate mother from what appears to be an attempt to end her own life. These scenes are discreetly portrayed and serve to help the viewer understand the person and the writer that Travers became. The film also contains verbal references to another character suffering harsh treatment at the hands of a father during their own childhood.
additional issues
The film also contains very mild bad language, such as 'God', 'damn' and 'hell', as well as occasional scenes of smoking in a historical context.
