To protect her nine-year-old son, Frankie, from the truth, his mom, Lizzie (
Emily Mortimer), has invented a story to satisfy Frankie's curiosity. She regularly writes Frankie a letter from his make-believe father who works aboard a ship traveling to exotic lands. However, Lizzie soon finds out his "father's" ship will be arriving in a few days. Now, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth and hatching a desperate plan to find the perfect stranger to play the perfect father.
A jewel! Truly a rare delight.
Beautiful story and well acted by all. I hope there`s a Dear Frankie II. I want to see the "stranger" back in their lives.
