Columbus Dispatch

Synopsis

A long time ago in a small-town park, it is a cold snowy evening. Robert, a young boy is walking with his mother and stops, noticing something strange. There is a hobo by himself who appears to be talking to someone who isn’t there. It turns out he is directing a group of mysterious invisible children in a show that must be done by Friday or something bad will happen. As an increasing number of the town’s children begin believing in these mysterious children, the local doctor decides to have the hobo committed to an adult home. On Friday afternoon he escapes and makes his way to the park where most of the town’s adults and all of its children are waiting for him.
