Logline

A struggling jingle writer on the verge of ending his life finds unexpected purpose when a gig at a senior home connects him with a sharp-tongued, big-hearted resident who helps him rediscover music, hope, and himself.

Details

Elias, a once-promising musician turned jingle writer, teeters on the edge of despair after repeated failures and family rejection. Just as he’s about to give up, a cheerful call from a senior living facility interrupts him — they need a last-minute pianist. Reluctantly accepting, Elias meets Ambrose, a lively older woman who insists that music should come from the heart, not perfection. Elias begins to reconnect with joy and authenticity, even as memories of his abusive father and failed career haunt him.
