Spring ‘61 director Abbe Wool with resource actor Macaulay Culkin at the 1990 Directors Lab.

Grandview is a homogenous, conservative, white-bread community. The community and the fifth grade class of Grandview Elementary School (tragic Jamie Brown; spritely Piper Smith; Lance Clark, the bully; Oren Martin, our hero; Dickie Rogers, the sole black kid; and Helen Dixon, our pretty heroine), are kept in check by an ever-present Narrator. The off-camera Narrator's voice enforces Grandview's socially and financially-oriented status quo—a voice reminiscent of the booming, authoritative narrators of classroom education films of the '40s and '50s. As "normal" as Grandview appears on the surface, it becomes apparent that strange occurrences are commonplace. Piper's hands slowly and mysteriously shrink until they become so tiny she can wear her doll's gloves, forcing her parents to have her fitted with steel prosthetic hooks. When Jamie announces her June wedding to Lance, Oren promises his love, Helen, that they too will someday be wed. And when Dicky Rogers wins the 50-yard dash, the racist Narrator calmly announces Lance as the winner.
