Love Never Dies? During the ?Great Depression? an independent woman finds illicit love with a passionate man, drawing disapproval from community and family. Separated by circumstances, their union transcended death proving love is eternal.

I think you have some components here that have potential, but just need reworking and more specificity. Right now it’s a little vague, and ends up sounding too much like Romeo & Juliet with a couple of tweaks. I would focus on the components you have, play around to make them more unique, and see what happens. You might also benefit from focusing on just 3 or 4 of the below to start…

-Great Depression
-Independent woman
-Finds illicit love
-Passionate man
-Community disapproval
-Separation
-Transcendence (what does that look like?)
