Inspired by Charles Dickens’ The Life of Our Lord.
Synopsis: While Dickens was a loving father, his work often kept him distant from his family. In particular he struggled to connect with his youngest son Walter, a five-year-old dreamer who is inseparable from his best friend Willa the cat.
One day, Dickens’ reading performance at a London theatre is ruined by Walter’s mischievous behavior. Dickens pleads to his son to try and enjoy the reading but Walter is not interested.
His wife Catherine, aware of Walter’s obsession with King Arthur, urges Dickens to tell his son the story of another king: Jesus Christ.
