action
The film tells the story of Robert (Bobby) Garfield, a middle-aged man who rekindles his youth at the funeral of his childhood friend Sullivan (Sully), especially the experiences he had the summer when he was eleven . During this time he and his two friends Johnny Sullivan and Carol Gerber had had many adventures together. The encounter with an older traveler named Ted Brautigan was particularly exciting for the three of them. But Bobby's self-fixated mother, Liz Garfield, liked it less and less.
Bobby lives alone with his mother, who Ted Brautigan takes in as a lodger in the house. While his mother is always busy with herself and her job, Ted begins to take Bobby under his wing. The two begin to build a friendly father-son relationship and it soon becomes clear that Ted has a kind of telepathic or telekinetic power that soon rubs off a little on the boy, but is also of interest to mysterious agents.
Bobby, Carol and Sully clash again and again with the city rowdy Harry Doolin, whom Ted is able to drive away at a more or less coincidental encounter by reading his mind and finding out that his brisk demeanor is only covering up that he is secretly has transvestite inclinations and likes to wear women's clothes.
However, Carol is later injured by Harry in revenge. When Ted tries to correct her dislocated arm, Bobby's mother Liz comes home and draws the wrong conclusion that Ted is mistreating Carol. However, she refrains from calling in the police when Ted indirectly confronts her with thoughts of the mistreatment by her boss that had previously happened at one of her seminars.
When Bobby overhears his mother betraying his father's friend to the agents, he runs away from home. Despite his warning, Ted is finally arrested by the agents when Bobby picks up Ted's $ 2,000 winnings on a bet for him. When Ted is gone, Bobby discovers that with him, his ability to recognize other people's thoughts has also disappeared.

Reviews
