SYNOPSIS
Rudger exists only in the mind of Fay, a lonely girl who conjured him into being. But he's not alone. In a hidden realm parallel to reality, imaginary friends live out their own stories, invisible to the waking world. When a sinister force begins consuming imaginations wholesale, erasing the invisible beings who depend on them, Rudger and Fay's bond faces its greatest test. Fay's loneliness gave him life, but it might also condemn him. As Rudger ventures into Imaginaries Town alongside other forgotten creations, he uncovers a darker truth: every imaginary friend carries a piece of their creator's heart. Saving them all means confronting what makes them real in the first place. Hand-drawn animation brings this layered world to vivid life, painting a story about connection, loss, and the power of being needed. It's a film for anyone who's ever felt unseen, or feared abandonment by the people who made you matter.
