An interesting observation and it touches on my objective goal in posting a logline for the film. ?The outward action is her preparations for their 45th wedding celebration. ?But that ?just provides a contextual framework, an arena in which she must wrestle with the dramatic problem of their marriage revealed (to her) by the discovery of the body after nearly ?half a century.

A logline should be about one primary objective goal. The revised logline ?lists 3: ?1] resolve issues with his overbearing mother; 2] confront the death of his sister; 3] depart for another country.
There may be secondary goals in the script but they should all be subordinate to the primary goal that drives the story. ?And there is no need to list them in a logline.
Also “resolve issues” is vague, lacks specifics. ? And “confront the death…” strikes me as a weak choice of words. ?Some might take it to mean that her death is all about him — his emotional reaction to it. ?Well, we all sorrow over the death of a loved one and it compels us to reflect upon our own mortality. ?But a protagonist should ?have the primary goal of wanting to comfort his sister, not merely confront her death.
So, what is the one specific and most important thing he needs to accomplish?
(I like Richiev’s idea that he desperately wants to recite a poem he has written in memoriam . But his shrewish mother refuses to allow him to recite it during her funeral. ?I mean since he’s a poet, put that to work in the story.)

He wants to find the treasure but why does he need? to find it?
And what is at stake besides personal gain, getting rich? ?What does he stand to lose if he fails?
And who ?is the competition for the treasure? ?For the purpose of dramatic tension, a treasure hunt requires a competitor, at least one other party who is the odds on favorite to find the treasure first. ?
And the competitor (as antagonist) also needs to be an element in the logline.
