Synopsis

11 year-old Aaron plays a game of hide and seek in which his friend Tony is never found. The mystery of their relationship–and of their queer attachment to the armoire in Aaron’s bedroom–can only be revealed, it turns out, through hypnosis.

At once a comedy, a mystery and a melodrama, Jamie Travis’ The Armoire is the resounding finale to his Saddest Children in the World trilogy. –Official Site
