- A heartbroken woman shops for the 'perfect mattress' and gets more than she expected.
ONE DAY HOME is used with permission from Drew Denny and Rebecca Louise Miller. 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. - Фільми й анімація
Nicely acted and excellent script. The older couple was adorable.
Ab-solutely!!
Miguel is nice. Miguel is who you'd want there that day.
If only people were this aware of others in real life
Do you wake up hot,and sweaty lmao.
@@fml5910 lmao-maybe
Exactly that I was thinking
@@sassysucculent6291 that was a line at the mattress store you funny lady
Miguel is hella wholesome
The actor is Frank Harts, he’s amazing and brought so much to that role.
The lady was attractive. Freeda, I'd be freeda' meet with her to test cocktails 🍹 and maybe beds 🛏🛌
@@DMWBN3 freeda? I would expect more like Frida, the painter.
Mazel to was a bit weird.
"And that's how I met your mother, kids."
I just wanted to say thank you for your service if you served in the military.
A mattress store staffed by angels?
The "Miguel" actor could be the next Clint Eastwood or Denzel Washington. He connects!!!!
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!
When he said „my Lady said the opposite“ at 2:49 I thought he had a wife 😥, but watching it the 2nd time I think he was refering to the saleswoman 😅 ... phewww!! 😂🥰
Yeah I was crushed when he said that 😂 thank you for clarifying 😅!
Yeah I was crushed when he said that 😂 thank you for clarifying 😅!
Same here, @queenofashanti :)
Me too!!🖖🏼🥴 I was like... Back that up?😅
I thought he was referring to his ex and his sometimes ED lol
How has this made me laugh and tear up and feel all the feels in only 12 minutes?! I love the writing and excellent acting
Thank you!!!
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.
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 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.
I agree they will be!
I think I'm gonna go to mattress shopping after watching this 😂
hahaha me too
Tell me where u going...! 😎😎
@@samaalshamshameem3100😆 most probably you are in a different country I know my luck 😂
Rozhan Hamad !! 😁😁😁 that’s hilarious...Wow! good one....yea am in Dubai... and u..? 😉
@@samaalshamshameem3100 yeah I knew it you are in a different country 🙃 Iraq
This was so adorable. They had great chemistry.
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!
There's not a word, gesture, camera angle or casting choice out of place in this. What a delight.
Good actors makes even the mundane watchable... great short!
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 girl acted Really well.. A nice screenplay 👍 Loved it
The saleswoman is quite a character! Really surprising appearance and role! Miquel too, he feels like home :)
Pressed like for Miguel at 9:36 🦋✨✨✨✨
OMELETO is like Days of Our Lives meets Twilight Zone.
Love.
This one was good, right up there with the wedding reception short film with the same premise.
Urghhhh watching this with my lonely ass in bed XD
Don't have to be 😍
Visit the shop but be ready to give someone your number lol
@@lebronjames8218 Simp.
Me too :(
Irie mon. Perhaps you best be comin here to Jamaica mon.
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.
Fun story...made me chuckle
14???
FBI OPEN UP
How old did you look - 22?
@@sallychi8406 I don't know how old I looked, but even before that, I didn't get carded at a liquor store when I bought my mom a bottle of wine for her birthday.
She should have asked for Miguel's number.
Agreed. Miguel has swag with no effort whatsoever.
No, Adam and Freida, definitely!
why do you think so?
IKEA all the way ;-)
@@sandrajones6968 Guys with real swag do it effortlessly ;-)
A wonderful love story! So unique, so short, yet so fulfilling! The world needs more love stories...of all kinds.
I cried. Have had these kind of connections before, and cherish their memories. 🙂
Why do they not last longer or lead to further connections?
It sucks I had this connection with a guy after my marriage and I had to let him go because I didn't want to cheat on my husband
Simple sentimental needs braking barriers between strangers while the sale pitches are genuinely intuitive. Fantástico
Rebecca Miller should have her own series. Her writing and acting are superb.
11:15 - She was about to do it the old-fashioned way, but he spoiled the mood a little there.
This actress is one of the most beautiful women I have seen-- wow!
The saleswoman is intriguing, I should be seeing her more on movies.
I've watched it several times and each time find it, sweet, touching and heartwarming. Thanks for the hope.
HATS OFF TO REBECCA, ALFREDO, & THE SUPPORTING CAST & CREW ! 👍👍👍👍👍
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. ❤
Now your comment has made my week! So glad our movie could brighten your day during a hard time. I’m going to share your comment with our producers and director. Take care and be well!
@@rebeccalou OMG!! You made my week! Thank you for your sweet comment and to say you will share it with the producers and director. You wrote a beautiful love short film and were wonderful in it. Hopefully, there will be a part 2 to this, to see what happens to Frida and Adam. ❤
PS Loved the older couple, who coaxing you on....they were so adorable. ❤
Thank you again for commenting on my post.
Biggest hellos all the way from Morocco to you

@@demijour1234 we are all human beings. Stay safe and healthy
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.
Super sweet story, and great acting-- like they weren't acting!
Aren’t they adorable. Very natural acting. If only Real Life was like this.
I felt all the awkwardness they were going through
And I couldn't stop getting shy through and through
500 days of omeleto.
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.
What an amazingly great and hopeful short. 10 out of 10!
you know who had a nice way.
that guy Miguel.
he has a nice way about him and likely lives a nice life.
that's what I think.
I realize it's a movie but I'm referring to people like him.
he just seems to be a content person inside.
I'm not.
You'll find your happiness 🤞

that day is gone.
lost family partner child livelihood and mental breakdown. all over.
But thanks.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'll pray for you.
Aayushi Verma
I guess that's about all you can do really.
wish it changed things.
@@Onlinesully I'll pray for you as well ❤
I like the hope & encouragement in this wonderfully acted & created film.
Just rewatched this having forgotten I had watched it long back. Felt just as enjoyable and warm.
This is incredibly well acted
Great story line - executed with ease - made you want to stay till the end!
I really want to see more of this episode.....love to see these two
Miguel is a real one.
Great little short.
All such good actors...great script🤗
Sweet story, how everything work together, look smooth and natural also encouraging and the feel is in the air.
I need a new mattress. Think I'll go shopping for one this weekend. Just to see what happens. 🤔🛏
@@queenjoellekamanzihirwe4330 I don't think the right one is out there. 🤦🏻♀️
cool.. tell us what happens.
@@Gallop4Me I bought a mattress a few months ago, made a huge difference! Feels like I’m sleeping on clouds.
The sales lady and older women shopping with her husband were both in OITNB!
Miguel is a cool & funny hombre.
Now that's a wonderful short! Beautifully short and heartwarming.
Rebecca Miller owned this romantic story. Wondrous.
This was a really nice short
This is so cute, a little romance in the mundane practicality of shopping for a bed. I'm happy Frida took a chance on love! 😍
That made me smile,blush and my heart warm... looking forward to get a good job and a woman like Frida...😊
She's beautiful. Naturally
Great story, well written and acted.
Thanks for wonderful short films which makes my day.
"The sweetest ever...", she says as she floats back down to reality... ...
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 😆
You broke up that day?
@@rme1383 no, unfortunetly I had gotten into that relationship thinking he was great. He was a huge mess. Sold my car, jukebox, desks, broke things if mine. I was stuck in that for a long time. After 2 years I left with pretty much nothing I took with me
@@chevynovascotia3301 I hope you have recovered from that relationship
It's been 3 years. I'm still single and probably will remain that way. I've stopped trusting. Everyday was eggshells. I'm working on it. I never thought I'd get into something like it but it happened so fast.....everything is a red flag to me now, even when people are sincere, I don't trust them
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
This was fun on so many levels. Nicely done!!
