Be Happy (2026)

The movie follows 50-year-old Val, a devoted wife and stay-at-home mom, who is eager to reignite the spark in her marriage when her youngest child leaves for college. Grappling with empty-nest feelings, loneliness, and growing emotional distance from her husband Ross, Val begins to realize that her marriage and the woman she once was may be slipping away. A spontaneous escape to New Orleans to support her pregnant daughter, Kayla, awakens long-buried dreams and passions and introduces her to Peter Mosley, a handsome and charismatic photographer who sees her in ways she has forgotten to see herself. Reawakening her artistic spirit and rediscovering her worth, Val must face a life-altering question: Is it ever too late to choose yourself and the love you truly deserve?
