Felix Funicello, a character from Wishin’ and Hopin’, is visited in
the cinema by the ghost of Lois Weber. Ms. Weber was a director of
Hollywood fame during the silent film era, and she has an assignment for
Felix. Through watching films of his life, and sometimes being place
into the films, he’s able to see his own family and culture with the
gift of hindsight and different perspectives. He comes to have more
appreciation for how the ideals for women have impacted his own sisters,
daughter, and ex-wife. An appreciation for the feminist movement in
different eras is heightened through his reflections.
