Synopsis/Details
Confusion ensues when two-year-old Teddy is dropped off at day care and meets a group of babies that is made up of an angry cowboy, a quiet German, a tough redhead, and a spontaneous glamour girl named Olive who can’t seem to get her lipstick straight. But, when he and Olive sequester themselves in an empty room with a puzzling painting that shows an old, lonely couple and Olive collapses, Teddy slowly begins to realize that his life isn’t as linear as he once thought.
