Millionen Momente voller Glück: Directed by Albert Alarr. With Dan Gauthier, Dendrie Taylor, Robert Gant, Susan Seaforth Hayes. A veteran soap opera star retires to a beach house with her publicist and partner, but her Early Onset Alzheimer’s will strain the couple’s relationship until they find the strength to redefine themselves and what they mean to one another.

“A Million Happy Nows (2017) was directed by Albert Alarr. It stars Crystal Chappell as Lainey Allen, a talented soap opera star who has just won an Emmy. Jessica Leccia portrays Laineyu0026#39;s partner, Eva Morales. The two women are deeply in love.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt the start of the movie, it becomes clear that Lainey has memory problems. In fact, she has early-onset Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease. (This is an unusual type of Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease. It affects people below the age of 65, and is sometimes hereditary. Laineyu0026#39;s disease is hereditary, so she is familiar with the symptoms.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot of the film isnu0026#39;t whether or not Lainey has Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease. We learn her diagnosis very early in the movie. The plot is how Lainey and Eva deal with the situation. What keeps their love strong under the harsh reality of the disease? What happens as the disease progresses? Who is willing to help them, who is not? Itu0026#39;s a hard movie to watch, but I found it realistic and believable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe saw this film at Rochesteru0026#39;s excellent Little Theatre. It was shown as part of the wonderful Image Out, Rochesteru0026#39;s LGBT Film Festival. (I thought it tied for best lesbian film with Princess Cyd, another wonderful film.) What I particularly liked about the movie was that it concentrated on the problem that this couple must face. Yes, it was a lesbian couple, but it was still a couple. We appear to have reached a point where–at least in some situations–being lesbian is not considered an obstacle to acceptance. Lainey and Eva have a problem, but itu0026#39;s not because theyu0026#39;re lesbians.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie will work well on the small screen, although some of the beautiful coastal scenery will be lost. You donu0026#39;t want to miss this movie. Seek it out and watch it.”
