Pretending Normal
The idea for Pretending Normal came to me when I began to play around with the question- What would happen if the responsible parent in the family died, leaving only the dysfunctional one to care for two teenager daughters? Ask any child of such a family and the answer would be -'nightmare'. In this case, Frank Polokovich, a man who has lived his life smothered in regret and alcohol is that nightmare. His oldest daughter, Sara, will learn the truth about human frailty and the meaning of family with all of its flaws and weaknesses as the bond that holds one to another, in love, loyalty, even death.
