DEAR FRANKIE

Nine-year-old Frankie Morrison (Jack McElhone) and his single mother Lizzie (Emily Mortimer) have been on the move ever since Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish town. Wanting to protect her son from the truth that they have run away from his father whose brutality caused Frankie to be deaf, Lizzie has invented a story that he is away at sea on the HMS Accra, and not knowing there is really a ship with this name. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes to Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, telling of his adventures as a sailor in exotic lands, and Frankie tracks the ship's supposed progress around the globe. He discovers that it is due to dock in Greenock, his latest hometown. With this real HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, a panicked Lizzie enlists the help of her friend and co-worker, Marie, to hire a stranger (Gerard Butler) to play Frankie's father, Davey, for just one day.
