Plot

In the city of love, Paris, a devoted wife meticulously crafts a romantic dinner for two, donned with candlelight and heartfelt intentions, to commemorate her wedding anniversary. Her husband, on the other hand, is caught in a whirlwind of bustling Parisian streets and errands. He visits various stops, each a mission to secure perfect anniversary gifts to surprise his beloved. However, an unseen force, the anti-anniversary Gods, conspires against him. Every errand turns into an unexpected obstacle course, each stop presenting a unique challenge, which together form a labyrinth of delays. The city traffic is relentless, and time seems to be racing against him, threatening to turn his joyous day into a race against the clock. Back home, his wife, unaware of her husband's trials, anxiously awaits his return. The ticking clock and her husband's absence create an air of suspense - will he make it home in time to share in the carefully arranged celebration? In the midst of these opposing forces - a wife's hope and a husband's struggle - the question hangs in the air: Will the anniversary still ring with happiness when he finally makes it home? 'Happy Anniversary' weaves this tale of love, time, and destiny in the heart of Paris.
