Double Happiness

2025 · 17 min

A gentle, bittersweet late-life romance that finds warmth and quiet humour in grief and long-delayed connection.

Directed by
Shari Albert
Overview
Double Happiness is a romantic dramedy that begins where most love stories end—with a shiva. It’s about Lillian Zelman, a 75-year-old Jewish spitfire, and Richard Wang, a stoic Chinese-American restaurateur whose paths have crossed every Christmas for four decades (as it is written in the Talmud, of course). When they reconnect after the death of Lillian’s husband, what begins as comfort unexpectedly turns into... something more.
