A Valentine's Match (2020)

In the bustling heart of San Francisco, Natalie Simmons carves out her niche as the dynamic host of a lifestyle television show, skillfully crafting her public persona. However, her seemingly perfect world starts to unravel just weeks before Valentine's day. Accused of losing her authenticity, she finds herself jobless and disconnected from her audience. Seeking solace and a chance to rediscover herself, Natalie retreats to her quaint hometown on the outskirts of Portland, leaving her boyfriend, Brooks, the director of her now-defunct show, behind. Her return home is timed with the town's cherished annual Valentine's Day Festival, co-chaired by her mother, Alicia, and Sue Williams, the mother of her high school sweetheart, Zach. Natalie had carefully avoided revisiting the town since high school, hoping to sidestep the painful memories of her broken relationship with Zach, a talented artist who chose his European art degree over their love. Unbeknownst to Natalie, Zach has since given up his artistic pursuits, settling as the owner of the local hardware store. Meanwhile, Alicia and Sue, still firm believers in the bond Natalie and Zach once shared, conspire to rekindle their love. Through strategic maneuvering, they manage to pair Natalie and Zach to organize the festival's pivotal auction, the proceeds of which fund the following year's celebration. Thrust into close quarters, Natalie and Zach initially grapple with the tension of their shared past. However, their forced interaction prompts Natalie to reassess her life, her relationship with Brooks, and her true self, buried under layers of manufactured persona. As she navigates this emotional labyrinth, the secret behind Zach's decision to leave for Europe looms ominously. The revelation of this truth may hold the key to their future, either sealing their fate or unlocking a second chance at love. Amidst the backdrop of Valentine's festivities, Natalie's journey of self-discovery intertwines with the potential rekindling of an old flame, painting a heartwarming portrait of love's resilience and the power of second chances.
