Her life was an unfinished song, until she found her voice
Synopsis
With her marriage crumbling, a middle-aged housewife's 'besties' stage a happiness intervention and gift her a trip to Iceland (a land known for its happy people). Once there, she meets a quirky Icelandic wellness counselor in training who teaches her to embrace the Icelandic proverb, "petta reddast" - meaning, it will all work out. In the end, she rediscovers her passion for music and comes to realize that happiness is not found in the destination, but in the journey - and, like all of us, she's still a work in progress. Inspired by series like Shrinking and Better Things, this short film dramedy finds the humor and heart in a relatable, messy, coming of (middle) age story that explores how to find love again... with yourself.
Pre-production begins: Spring 2025
