In Wonderstruck, the story revolves around two parallel narratives that eventually converge. The first storyline follows a young boy named Ben, who lives in Gunflint, Minnesota, in the 1970s. Ben is deaf and suffers a tragic accident that leaves him motherless. Desperate for answers about his identity and seeking connection, he discovers a bookmark in a book that leads him to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Simultaneously, the film shifts to another young protagonist named Rose, living in New York in the 1920s. Rose is also deaf and yearns for a sense of belonging. She becomes captivated by an actress named Lillian Mayhew and secretly attends her performances at a theater. However, due to the cultural stigma and societal norms regarding deafness at the time, Rose struggles to find her voice and connect with others.

As both Ben and Rose embark on their respective journeys, the film gradually reveals their hidden connection. Ben arrives in New York, and with the help of a young girl named Jamie, he navigates the vast and enchanting halls of the museum. There, he encounters a mysterious curator and discovers a clue that leads him closer to unraveling his own identity.

Meanwhile, Rose's story takes a tragic turn when a disastrous fire breaks out during a performance, and she becomes separated from her beloved actress. In her quest to find Lillian Mayhew, she too finds herself at the American Museum of Natural History, transforming the museum into a backdrop for her journey.

As the film progresses, the connection between Ben and Rose becomes increasingly evident. Through a series of dreams and coincidences, the two characters eventually meet in the museum, discovering that they are related. Despite the passage of time and their differences in circumstances, Ben and Rose find solace in their shared experiences of isolation and longing for connection.

As Wonderstruck concludes, the young protagonists come to understand and appreciate their shared heritage and the significance of family bonds. The film presents a heartfelt exploration of identity, embracing differences, and the power of human connection across generations and time.
