just act normal monitors a man’s gradual descent
into disorientation through four episodes. A
stranger asking for directions to the Peace Pagoda
turns out to want more than that. The President of
the United States calls out of the blue to request a
personal favor. A stuffed owl, purchased at a yard
sale, turns into a menacing rival. An attempt at
normalcy after a stay in the hospital sours. Is
something wrong with the man? Or is something
wrong with everything else?
