STRANGER WITH THE TRUTHA father attempts to help a homeless man who reminds him of Chris, his missing son, sparking conversations the family has long avoided—about Chris, schizophrenia, and secrecy. True events, memories, and ghosts begin to collide until the truth is revealed. Based on a true story.
Janeschild portrays nuanced family relationships as a member experiences the onset of psychosis and severe schizophrenia. The story doesn’t focus on the individual or the disease, but rather highlights the family dynamics: the bonds between siblings expressed through music and physicality; the personal journey of denial, blame, and the timing of acceptance; and unexpected encounters that foster self-reflection and honesty.
