## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A film that asks, what if your imaginary friends were real, and needed you to clean up their unfinished business? Four recently deceased strangers spend decades invisibly shepherding a hapless man through life. He now has to assist them in resolving their pasts, or they're all stuck. It's a slightly saccharine premise, adequately executed.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cozy, tender
