A Million Happy Nows (2017)

In the heart of the relentless entertainment industry, seasoned actress Lainey Allen (Chappell) finds herself yearning for a quieter existence away from the shadow of younger talent on the soap opera she has graced for two long decades. Struggling to retain her lines and feeling the chill of age creeping in, she makes a daring decision to not renew her contract. Alongside her partner and publicist, Eva Morales (Leccia), Lainey retreats to a serene beach house nestled on the scenic Central California coast. Transitioning from the bustling city lights to the rhythmic lullaby of the sea, Lainey's personality subtly shifts, hinting at a mild depression which Eva attributes to the sudden departure from her acting career. But as Lainey's forgetfulness transcends the realms of stress-induced lapses, Eva insists on a medical consultation. The life they had envisioned is abruptly clouded by the diagnosis of Lainey's Early Onset Alzheimer's, threatening to shatter their tranquil existence. 'A Million Happy Nows' is a poignant narrative that unravels the resilience of love and companionship in the face of adversity. It deftly maps the shifting dynamics of Lainey and Eva's relationship as they confront the imminent reality of Lainey's impending dependence. Once captivated by Lainey's indomitable spirit, Eva now stands as her solitary pillar of support, embodying an awe-inspiring transformation from being everything for Lainey, to becoming her steadfast caregiver. As the couple grapples with their new reality, they are forced to redefine their identities and the essence of their bond, offering a testament to the enduring strength of love in the shadow of an unyielding disease.
