This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man (David
Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend.
Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed
his life. Three 11 year old children (Anton Yelchin as Bobby, Mika Boorem
as
Carol, and Will Rothaar as Sully) share their lives. Carol & Bobby have a
special affection for one another including sharing a kiss "by which all others
will be measured". Bobby lives with his mother (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain
woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her
son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder (Anthony Hopkins),
who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time
passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are
revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the "lowmen", who
were seeking him. The two share a summer's adventures and come to love
one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school
bully
(Timothy Reifsnyder) also changes everyone.
