Plot

In the aftermath of a divorce, Drew, a middle-aged Hollywood writer and director, returns to the bustle of New York, seeking a fresh start and a newfound sense of purpose. His journey of self-reinvention takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his old apartment still occupied by three eccentric young women, under the misapprehension that their tenancy extends until the end of New Year's Day. Among these unlikely roommates is Lucy, a multi-career dynamo and aspiring actress with dreams of Hollywood stardom, Annie, a photographer and Lucy's best friend grappling with uncertainty about her life's direction, and Winona, a 30-year-old magazine editor whose biological clock is a ticking time bomb, longing for motherhood. The stage is set for an unforgettable day as this eclectic mix of personalities converge in the confined space of Drew's apartment. As the day unfolds into a surprise party, they engage in candid conversations about their individual life paths, dreams, and fears. These interactions become a source of inspiration for Drew, offering him a fresh perspective on his own life. In this poignant narrative of self-discovery, New Year's Day presents a riveting exploration of life's transitions, the power of unexpected connections, and the dawn of new beginnings against the backdrop of a city on the cusp of a new year.
