“A young lawyer’s world turns upside down when the woman he met as a freshman dies the day of their wedding. As a result, he must choose to live his current life which is a product of joint decisions or find the person he was just before he met her”

Consi:

I find the premise interesting, but why not have her die after he's married, fulfilled HER dream for him by building a successful practice after years of hard work and lean times, even raised a family?

I think the current time frame for the premise makes it too easy for him to reboot his life. That is, the risk, the struggle, the stakes are considerably less than he would incur after having locked into long term commitments like a career, a marriage, a mortgage, raising a family, etc.

fwiw.

That's the idea, dgp. He attained his maturity and constructed a future inspired in that relationship/partnership. Now he feels like he's back at day 0, when he was 18 just about to meet his future wife. Now I get it wlubake, in terms of logline it doesn't make a difference. Thanks!
