A Boy and His Box

A young boy lays dreaming on a grassy hill, escaping the harsh realities of the real world. His family pressures him to grow up and conform, but he resists. One day, he finds a discarded refrigerator box, which he drags home and paints blue. Climbing inside, he goes off on fantastic adventures, picking up a companion along the way. Then, one day, something happens and his make-believe world is shaken. Is drudgery and conformity inevitable, or can a childish imagination survive? Find out as we travel to the far reaches of space and time with a boy and his box.
