Life in a Year

• Drama
• Romance

A determined high school senior crafts a meticulously planned year of “firsts” for his newly diagnosed girlfriend, attempting to compress a lifetime of experiences – from college acceptance to a mock wedding – into their remaining time together. Beyond a conventional romance, the film delicately explores the raw, often uncomfortable realities of anticipatory grief, and the desperate, hopeful act of constructing a shared future even as one person’s timeline collapses. While outwardly a deeply sentimental story, “Life in a Year” distinguishes itself by focusing not on a tragic fate, but on the active, loving creation of a legacy, a tangible testament to a relationship forged under impossible circumstances, culminating in a bittersweet celebration of moments lived rather than years lost.
