ONE DAY HOME | Omeleto Romance
Фильм және анимация
A heartbroken woman shops for the 'perfect mattress'.
ONE DAY HOME is used with permission from Drew Denny. Learn more at onedayhomefilm.com.
Frida is at a mattress store, but the task of buying a new one is proving surprisingly hard. She's surrounded by couples and families all on the same errand, reminding her of what she doesn't have: she split recently from her husband and is on the hunt for a new bed as a result.
But then she ends up meeting an intriguing stranger named Adam, who is also sitting on the same mattress she's on. They end up sharing a spark, helping Friday remember just what beds are for.
Helmed by an all-female trio of film creatives -- director Drew Denny, writer/lead actor Rebecca Louise Miller and cinematographer Autumn Eakin -- this small gem of a romance possesses plenty of unassuming charm, built on a sturdy foundation of emotional intelligence, well-crafted writing and performances that are both witty and vulnerable.
The film unfolds with a gentle, almost fragile way, which introduces Frida and her state of mind suitably. There's a pale softness to the lighting and color, and a sense of almost tender delicacy to the framing and compositions in the images, almost as if the camera recognizes Frida's vulnerability.
Newly single and grappling with the raw grief of the recent loss of her marriage, buying a mattress is both a mundane domestic chore and an overwhelming and expensive commitment -- a perfect parable for a life partnership. This idea isn't lost on Frida, as she watches happy couples around her lie on mattresses, testing them out for their homes and their futures together. Taking the time to etch out her state of mind, the storytelling seems to suggest a story about loss, grief and confronting the realities of single life.
But when Adam enters the picture, it offers both the film and Frida a lovely spark of surprise. They share both well-written witty banter, but they also exchange moments of openness and connection as they keep encountering one another in the store.
Due to her own grief and sadness, Frida doesn't quite see what's happening, but with the help of an impromptu community gathered in the mattress store -- featuring warm and vivid performances by solid seasoned character actors like Catherine Curtin and Michelle Hurst -- she begins to embrace the spark of an unexpected attraction.
Because there's a "meet cute" at the center of the plot, ONE DAY HOME ticks an essential box of romantic comedy, all while throwing in a quirky yet evocative setting and plenty of va-va-voom. But the main arc for Frida -- and for the audience -- isn't just about the thrill of a new flirtation or the possibility of a new relationship.
Instead, ONE DAY HOME is about choosing life, hope and possibility in the midst of harrowing loss and grief. Frida's appetite for life comes back in an unexpected moment and setting. The choice is whether or not she frames it as an aberration of opportunity, or decides to let it guide her to action.
Human connection and contentment are always possible, even while experiencing challenge and sadness -- and as Frida learns, with the help of newfound allies, these small moments of delight and collected kindnesses add up. If we're conscious of them and intentional in our choices, their momentum can open up unexpected new and promising chapters in our lives. And in the meantime, they can add a much-needed spark, and a tiny dose of optimism, in the sometimes difficult pursuit of human happiness.

Beautiful. I have got to tell you that these Omeleto shorts are stunning. You know you are a good film maker/ story teller when you can hold the attention of the audience with very few casts and no explosions and gun fights. Just a great story and great acting. Brilliant.
A mattress store staffed by angels?
The "Miguel" actor could be the next Clint Eastwood or Denzel Washington. He connects!!!!
For something that revolved around bed based scenes this was totally wholesome, just a hint of innuendo without making it overpowering or unnecessary...beautifully acted, engaging characters and a delightful ending...probably the best short film I have watched in years, in fact...get rid of the probably! Bravo!
I know a guy who was 13. He saw a friend of his parent's walk into his house, and he said to himself, "I'm going to marry that girl!". She was 22-24, somewhere in there. About 10 years later, they got married, and they are married still...he is about 60 now. LOVE these types of stories!
I love everything about this. It's beautifully shot, wonderfully acted, and both funny and heartwarming while being thoroughly down to earth. No over the top romantic gestures or soppy gazes to make it saccharine. The older couple are so wholesome and fun too. I have watched this several times and it always makes me smile. I don't care what anyone says, I choose to believe Adam and Frida will one day be that older couple laughing and fooling around in a bed store while giving solid advice to the next generation of heartbroken young woman.

Everything in this movie was perfect, the story line, the actors, the acting, the screenplay. It is true, you need to be sure of the right one, when you have to live with, for may be ten years. But one has to be really lucky to find the right one. I guess Frida was lucky!
Good actors makes even the mundane watchable... great short!
There's not a word, gesture, camera angle or casting choice out of place in this. What a delight.
I had a similar thing happen to me years ago. I was trying a waterbed and the young salesman came over. We started talking and and got along really well. Eventually, he climbed onto the bed with me and we were horsing around and trying all kinds of weird positions. He asked for my number and I had to tell him I was only 14. I always looked older, because I'm very tall. Poor guy was so embarrassed.

I've always loved how organically these shorts give us the character's names. Usually, a casual introduction or they say each other's names in an argument.
The saleswoman is quite a character! Really surprising appearance and role! Miquel too, he feels like home :)

Rebecca Miller should have her own series. Her writing and acting are superb.
Pressed like for Miguel at 9:36 🦋✨✨✨✨
That was adorable! Every character in this from Adam and Frida to the salespeople to the other customers felt 100% real. I'm totally rooting for the romance--it is going to WORK.
The saleswoman is intriguing, I should be seeing her more on movies.
11:15 - She was about to do it the old-fashioned way, but he spoiled the mood a little there.
Super sweet story, and great acting-- like they weren't acting!
HATS OFF TO REBECCA, ALFREDO, & THE SUPPORTING CAST & CREW ! 👍👍👍👍👍
I felt all the awkwardness they were going through And I couldn't stop getting shy through and through
A little late to the party, but this is one of my favorites. You felt the emotions along with the characters. You felt her grief, anxiety, uncertainty, curiosity, lust, and hope. This one is definitely on replay.
I love this one ❤❤ and I remember when it first played about over 6 months ago. I was having a hard time with things and I was up early in the morning after having a restless intermittent night sleep and this came on. My sleep cycle has been out of whack for awhile bc of my neuropathy due to my treatment from breast cancer in 2016. Watching this, It put a smile on my face and it just started my day happy and with a chuckle. I remember writing back when it first came on, that hmmm maybe I need to update my mattress and go mattress shopping. Someone even wrote happy endeavours mattress shopping lol. It was just what I needed that day. So glad this is re entering as new again and new comments are being made. I did notice that there was a slight change to this short film, just small changes. There was one point where they both decide to test the same bed out and she puts her purse in btw them when they both lie down. And I don't know if I am imagining this but I swear this was called before ''One Day'' and now it is called ''One Day Home'' and they even have the signage of that on the store window and the drapes were never shut at the end. Regardless, thank you reloading this, it still makes me smile while watching it even though I am single, I love it. Seriously though, I am saving up to buy a new mattress, the one I have is about 10 yrs old. ❤

If it were only that easy. My last boyfriend had his mattress for over 20 years. Stains and all. After 2 yearss of living together I suggested we buy a mattress together. He went in full crazy mode of why do I want him to get rid of the mattress where his daughter was conceived. Needless to say we aren't sleeping together anymore 😆

when I was 20 there was a guy I was dating and I was madly in love. He immigrated to France without even saying goodbye or even a phone call. after a couple of month he started sending emails but he was really mean. I finally broke up with him and told him I never want to see you again. I was sick for a year cried every single night. after a year I met some one else and after 6 month we got engaged but I didn't trust him for at least 5 years. but he was trustable and eventually he was becoming more and more mature. we got married in 2008 and we have a kid now. life is not perfect but better than being alone. give it another try. don't sacrifice any thing for any one but give it a go. may be this time is the one. Big hugs
Sweet story, how everything work together, look smooth and natural also encouraging and the feel is in the air.
