Eric Christian Olsen
"Where do we go when we die?" A question by 3-year-old Bodhi Palmer sets a real family on an imaginative adventure that explores how we cope with dying and the love, laughter, and pain we can find within it. Bodhi starring alongside his actual mother and father (Mark Webber and Teresa Palmer) and the fairy Esmeralda, played by Berger, give rare tour-de-force performances. Told through both the eyes of a father and his young son the story moves between the authentic real world and a fantasy realm filled with mythical creatures and remarkable circumstances.
