A Day Like This is a short romantic drama that explores love, grief, and denial. The film follows Jake, an 18-year-old who spends what seems like a normal anniversary with his girlfriend, Emily. As the day unfolds, subtle details reveal that Emily has passed away, and Jake is reliving memories to cope with his loss. The film uses natural lighting, symbolism, and gentle sound design to build emotion and create a sense of realism. Aimed at young audiences aged 16–30, it invites viewers to reflect on how people process grief and the illusions they create to hold onto love, ultimately encouraging acceptance and emotional healing.
