After losing her closest friend, 94 year-old Eleanor (June Squibb) relocates to New York and unexpectedly finds comfort in a group of Holocaust survivors - by sharing a story that isn’t hers. As her connection to the group deepens, so does the risk of discovery. A poignant, comic tale that explores memory, grief, and the complicated ways we seek belonging.

film posterDouble Happiness Short

Double Happiness is a romantic dramedy that begins where most love stories end—with a shiva. It’s about Lillian Zelman, a 75-year-old Jewish spitfire, and Richard Wang, a stoic Chinese-American restaurateur whose paths have crossed every Christmas for four decades (as it is written in the Talmud, of course). When they reconnect after the death of Lillian’s husband, what begins as comfort unexpectedly turns into... something more.
