## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

An elegant Atlanta marriage crumbles when Helen finds her wardrobe boarding a U-Haul on their anniversary. Cast onto the street, she decamps to her grandmother Madea’s, where sass and scripture reframe her future. The film stops just short of turning every cliché into a one-woman comedy revival.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, tender
