The story.
Based on a true story, a group of children in the Arizona desert transform an empty, rocky hillside into an imaginary town called Roxaboxen - complete with streets lined with white stones, houses made of wooden crates, and two ice cream shops. Armed with nothing but sticks and wild imagination, the children create a sparkling world entirely their own.
