Wow! This is a very impactful film. Shot in black and white, it delivers a punch. Excellent camera work and editing. It is abstract in its storytelling, but you get the gist of the old man reliving his past and seeing his death in the future. I give this 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for older teens, ages 14 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Marsha S., KIDS FIRST! Juror.
At death's door and ready for his final voyage, old Ben is visited by Paco, the imaginary friend he grew out of long ago. Ben cannot see nor hear him anymore, but the boy won't give up and will follow his old buddy till the end of the road - to mysterious islands or fantastic worlds? - where it leads matters not.
