Worlds · The children of Húrin

Eternity’s Children

A family divided by war. A son searching for a place to belong. One story told through film and song.

The shared story

A family beneath the shadow of war

In Tolkien’s tale of the children of Húrin, a family in Dor-lómin is torn apart by war and captivity. Túrin’s search for home carries him through Doriath, Nargothrond and Brethil, while Morwen and Niënor follow their own paths through the same loss.

Eternity’s Children follows that tragedy through films and songs. The films begin the cycle; the music carries its later turns and the voices left to remember them.
