We just finished watching this charming movie.
It is about nine yearold Frankie and his mother Lizzie. Lizzie has been telling Frankie that his dad is traveling across the world on a ship. Frankie has been writing his dad sending the letters to a P.O Box where his mother picks them up and writes him back pretending to be the dad. It all becomes a bit complicated when the ship the father is supposed to be on docks in their city. Lizzie will have to make a choice - tell the truth or “rent” a dad.
The movie won awards in Cannes, Toronto International Film Festival, Los Angeles Film Festival, and Tribeca Film Festival. Great camera angles, nice music, down to earth script and acting.
