The Kid

Nobody ever grows up quite like they imagined.

A magical-realist fable about reconciling childhood dreams with adult reality, built on warmth, humor, and the redemptive power of reconnecting with one's younger self.

Powerful businessman Russ Duritz is self-absorbed and immersed in his work. But by the magic of the moon, he meets Rusty, a chubby, charming 8-year-old version of himself who can't believe he could turn out so badly – with no life and no dog. With Rusty's help, Russ is able to reconcile the person he used to dream of being with the man he's actually become.
