Understanding Franklin Thompson

0/5 ( ratings)

Franklin Thompson and Mother Audrey live simply in a quiet small town. But a mental disorder they both share repeatedly forces them to the depths of despair. The prime symptom is they are driven apart into separate realities, in which each believes they will never see the other again. Panic-stricken, they each fight and claw themselves back to sanity, by repeating the same behavior that has saved them in the past. Audrey remains in their room and prays for help to the denizens of a mystically chaotic parallel world which she only is aware of when the disorder has struck her. Franklin abandons the apartment and wanders desperately through town pleading for help in finding his mother. As he goes from door to door and shop to shop, he endures the mockery, scorn, and general cruelty of the townspeople who are used to his periodic visits. They regard him as a harmless, somewhat humorous, but totally insane town character.
