Description: 1 hr. 42 min. Running away from the father of her deaf
son Frankie when he was very young, Lizzie (Mortimer) has created a fictional
history for her son in which the father is eternally at sea on a ship called the
HMS Accra, even as the duo have spent the last nine years moving from place to
place in Scotland frequently. Lizzie even goes so far to embellish the fantasy
as writing letters every few weeks to Frankie from the fictitious version of his
father, entertaining Frankie with tales of far away lands. The fantasy appears
likely to be doomed soon, however, when Frankie learns that the real life HMS
Accra is due to dock nearby their current home town, so Lizzie sets about to
find someone who pose as Frankie's sailor father.
