Relative Strangers


On Saturday afternoon I watched a film in which the plot is about Richard Clayton- the main character-, a young writer and psychologist. Things are going well, until he discovers few days before he gets married that he was adopted. His parents left him in front of an orphanage with a teddy bear.

When he found this out he immediately decided to call a detective to try to find his real parents. The investigations were so quick, that in few days he would invite his real parents and friends to introduce all the family before the days of the ceremony.

This couple appeared in America as fast as they could although they were living in Peking. The first meeting with Richard weren’t so good, as the two people were too small, fat and impolite, but kind-hearted. They worked as traders, nothing to do with Richard, a rich and polite man.

They spent some days living together at home, with Richard and his girlfriend. He became so stressed out by them, he couldn’t stand it and he threw them out of his house. When the couple saw that their behaviour was so bad they told Richard that they weren’t his real parents (although they were really), but one day he found a necklace from his mum in the garden in which there was a photo of him inside when he was a baby and a part of the teddy bear from his childhood. So, although his real parents were completely different, he look for them again and apologized and finally they celebrate the wedding all together.
