That’s original.? Who’s the antagonist?
It’s hard to see how this is a story that can be categorized as a family genre film.? A family genre film is one that would not offend preteens (or more particularly the parents of preteens).? It is also a film with characters and themes that would appeal to preteens.? ?And there parents? (Like a Pixar film.)
Why would preteens be interested in — let alone understand — the legal details — of impeachment?? Or a parent grooming her older than pre-teen kids for politics?
In addition, the current political reality in the US is more interesting and more dramatic that could be conjured up in any political fiction.? Certainly by a fictional character seeking to “balance family life”? –where’s the tension, conflict, controversy in being balanced?? The very essence of drama is life and characters out of balance.?
In drama, balance = boring.
I personally think this COULD be an interesting story, but you need to have much more going on in the second act of your plot.
Right now, the disgraced president just moves back to his hometown to balance his family life. That’s not enough for an interesting concept.
What if he tried to prove his innocence before he gets impeached or even after the impeachment process.
If you look at current series like “House of Cards” or “Designated Survivor”, there is a great opportunity for writers to mix politics with dramatical elements.
But, as I said, a family life can’t be your whole plot for the second act.
