เรื่องย่อ : Dear Frankie | หยุดหัวใจให้แฟรงกี้
Nine-year-old Frankie and his single mother, Lizzie, have always been on the move. From city to city, they never stay in one place for long. Their latest stop is a small seaside town in Scotland, where Lizzie hopes they can finally settle down. But there's a secret that Lizzie has been keeping from Frankie. She's been lying to him about his father, who is actually not away at sea on the HMS Accra as she has led Frankie to believe. In reality, they have run away from Frankie's father, and Lizzie has been creating a fictional story to protect her son from the truth. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, filled with tales of his adventures in far-off lands. Frankie eagerly tracks the ship's progress around the globe, believing every word of his mother's stories. However, the real HMS Accra is due to dock in their seaside town in just a fortnight. Lizzie is faced with a difficult decision - should she finally come clean to Frankie about his father, or should she find a perfect stranger to play the role of Frankie's father for just one day? As the arrival of the ship draws nearer, Lizzie grapples with her conscience. She knows that the truth will eventually come out, and she doesn't want Frankie to feel betrayed or deceived by her. On the other hand, she fears that telling him the truth will shatter his world and their relationship. In the end, Lizzie decides to be honest with Frankie. She sits him down and gently explains the situation, assuring him that she loves him and will always be there for him. Frankie is initially upset and confused, but with Lizzie's love and support, he begins to understand and accept the truth. Together, they watch as the real HMS Accra docks in their town, but this time, Frankie is not filled with disappointment or longing for a father he never had. Instead, he feels grateful for his mother's love and the life they have built together. And as they watch the ship sail away, Frankie knows that he doesn't need a fictional father - because he has the most important person in his life right by his side.
