HOT FLASH
By Karen Albright Lin

GENRE: Comedy, Family
LOGLINE:

When menopause claims Sophie, literally bursting into flames is just the beginning.

SYNOPSIS:

SOPHIE BRENNAN leads a Norman Rockwell life. She’s healthy, confident, and perfectly content. But as her fifty-first birthday approaches, a “gynecologist from chauvinist hell” confirms Sophie’s suspicion that she’s going through the dreaded change of life. She suddenly questions everything she’s done and what she has become. The world and how she sees herself in it, changes overnight.

The symptoms of fast-approaching MENOPAUSE descend upon her. Sophie’s overactive imagination turns truths about the feminine and human conditions into cryptic misadventures.

She seeks guidance from one after another (non)source of help, and misunderstands the reactions of her children and long-suffering husband. In separating the authentic from the charlatan, reality from visions, she finds the bridge between who she was and who she would like to be in the next phase of her life.
