About the Film

“Facing the biggest adventure of his life, Arthur must decide what luggage he will be bringing with him, physical and emotional.”

 

Ten years after meeting at camp, Arthur and Audrey have made the long-overdue decision to move in with each other. While packing his apartment, Arthur sorts through some old possessions which bring up some good memories and old anxieties. These anxieties conjure up Arthur’s imaginary friend Peter, who is the living embodiment of his fears and negative values.  In order to move on with his life, Arthur must stand up to Peter and conquer his fears, anxieties, and pain.
