The movie ‘Ordinary People’, as its name implies, basically deals with average people who are actually very common in real world as their problems are.
The summary itself is very interesting, it weaves around Alison’s father’s death – possibly suicide – and Alison’s learning, a few months earlier, that he was gay.
