Happy Ending

Happy Ending follows Riya, a young Indian woman living in London, who works at a massage parlour to support her struggling family back home. Behind closed doors, Riya is constantly battling guilt, societal expectations, and the financial pressure of keeping everything together.

Despite the challenges, Riya maintains firm boundaries in her work. But one night, when desperation kicks in, a difficult choice triggers a chain of events that spirals out of control. What begins as a quiet shift quickly turns into a chaotic night filled with unexpected visitors, rising tension, and morally complex decisions. As Riya and her colleague Emma try to hold everything together, they’re forced to navigate fear, power, and survival in a world that’s quick to judge but slow to understand.

In the quiet seaside town of Bexhill, England, three close friends are torn apart when one of them is violated. As the others wrestle with anger and grief, they’re drawn toward revenge — a choice that tests their loyalty and morality.

20 Something

Quinn is thrown into adulthood — and she’s definitely not ready.

As pressure mounts from her parents, boss, and boyfriend to “grow up,” Quinn realizes no one’s actually shown her how. To make it through, she’ll have to find her own courage — and her own way forward.
