Once Upon A Breakdown

Ever had a breakup so bad it literally tore you in two? Meet JJ. Fresh off a devastating split from her boyfriend Kevin, JJ drives to a remote, supposedly magical cabin for a solo healing retreat. Her plan? To ugly-cry, journal, and maybe—just maybe—burn the oversized "Fairytale Ending" hoodie that smells like her ex and regret. Her best friend Rosie's only warning: "Avoid the hippie lady next door." But it's too late. Delta Moon, the muumuu-clad, force-of-nature neighbor, ambushes JJ with a rib-crushing hug and an offer she can't refuse: a wish. Through tears, JJ whispers her deepest, most desperate desire into the silent, listening woods: she just wants someone to love her. The universe hears. And it delivers exactly what she wished for. She wakes up the next morning to a hand gently holding hers—a hand adorned with the same bitten nails, the same silver ring, and the same tiny scar from seventh grade. JJ whips around in bed and comes face-to-face with the one person the universe sent to love her... herself. The cabin is no longer a retreat. It's a prison for two. Suddenly, JJ is not so solo. There are now two of her: JJ1: The heartbroken, hoodie-clinging romantic who just wants to be chosen. JJ2: The cynical, rage-filled realist who’s desperate to burn the past and who thinks JJ1 is a pathetic doormat.Trapped together by a cabin that won't let their car leave the driveway, these two halves of the same person are forced to cohabitate. What follows is a hilarious and raw battle of the selves. They chase each other around fire pits, sabotage phone calls from the ex, engage in disastrous self-care montages, and even—in a truly unforgettable scene—discover that self-pleasure has… complicated consequences when you share a nervous system. As they war over wine, journal entries, and the fate of the cursed hoodie, their uninvited guru Delta looks on from her porch, sipping mystical tea and offering unhelpfully cryptic advice. But this isn't just a magical realist rom-com about heartbreak. It's about learning to love the parts of ourselves we believe aren't worthy of love. To become whole again, JJ will have to finally make peace with the one person she can’t stand: herself. Tagline: How do you leave a toxic relationship...when it’s with yourself?
