THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH<br />
SOUTH FLORIDA PREMIERE<br />
Director: John Goshorn<br />
Florida / 2015 / 81 mn / HDCam / English<br />
As the film opens, Jonah and Maggie are in the process of buying<br />
their first home, picking out one that feels perfect to start a<br />
family. They move in, riding a wave of satisfaction at opening<br />
the next chapter in their lives. But it doesn't last. Days after moving<br />
in, the newspaper where Jonah works makes job cuts, his<br />
position among them. They try to muddle through and hold on<br />
to their dream. Maggie picks up a waitressing gig to supplement<br />
her daycare job, and Jonah tries desperately to find work and<br />
renegotiate the terms of their mortgage, to no avail. And trying<br />
to compete in a dying industry and a saturated job market, his<br />
opportunities are severely limited.<br />
After a particularly humiliating interview and another round of<br />
bad news about the mortgage, Jonah is at his wit's end. He<br />
heads to the coast to regroup, but never returns home. He is<br />
presumed to have drowned while kayaking in the ocean, but no<br />
one is certain. Maggie is left to pick up the pieces while weighing<br />
her grief, her hope for Jonah's miraculous return, suspicions regarding<br />
the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and<br />
her own need to move on with her life.<br />
