The Birthday Wish (2017)

In the bustling world of TV commercials, Gwen is a director who thrives on careful control, a trait she developed after the untimely death of her father when she was only thirteen. Intent on avoiding life's unexpected twists, she has charted a meticulous life plan: an engagement by her thirtieth birthday, an imminent wedding, and a career-enhancing shift to Los Angeles. Her boyfriend of three years, Alex, an image-focused weatherman, seems like the perfect fit in this well-crafted timeline. But as her thirtieth birthday dawns, Gwen’s anticipation of a romantic proposal from Alex fizzles into disappointment when it fails to materialize. In a whimsical moment, she makes a secret wish to glimpse into her future, ten years down the line. The vision she encounters is a far cry from her meticulously planned future. It's filled with suburban tranquility, the chaos of three children, and a minivan - a stark contrast to the city life she'd envisaged. Most disconcerting is the absence of Alex and the presence of Dave, the imaginative creative director from her ad agency, whom she barely knows. As her vision begins to infiltrate her present life, Gwen finds herself drawn towards Dave, with mutual feelings blossoming between them. But Dave, a gentleman, refrains from acting on these emotions as long as Alex is still in the picture. Gwen is left wrestling with a pivotal decision: stick to her pre-planned life of predictability or embrace the unexpected and follow her heart. This dilemma is heightened as Alex starts to align with her original plans, but with motives that seem more self-serving than genuine. The Birthday Wish is a heartfelt journey of self-discovery, love, and the courage to embrace life's unpredictable beauty.
