The two main characters are a mildly conservative boomer dad who loves golf and his zoomer mental health liberal daughter with anorexia. The dad is unable to understand her anorexia until she gets the opportunity to explain it to him through golf ("it's like how you are trying to get a lower score!"). Now that the dad understands, they get closer and the daughter starts going along with him on his golf trips, which are really just an excuse for her to burn extra calories walking around all day and carrying his bags.
An important thing to note about the daughter’s characterization is that her anorexia isn’t real anorexia, its like cartoon anorexia. She literally sees herself as being a large person, so she wont get on an elevator if anyone else is on it, goes through every door sideways, and walks 6 feet to the side whenever she needs to walk past someone. I was also thinking part of her backstory could be that they brought her into the doctor because they thought she was dyslexic because she kept misreading their scale, but the doctor figures out what is actually going on.
At the local bar, a man who loves craft beer keeps trying to roofie women, but he fails because they never finish the barleywines and double ipas he orders for them. Eventually though, he finds a girl who loves 11%ipas, realizes how special she is, and switches drinks with her right before she's about about to take her first sip, roofie-ing himself in the process. He wakes up at her place and the two start a loving relationship over their mutual love of high end beer I know my film idea is amazing but working in this B plot will be a challenge for me as a director and screenwriter
Eventually winter time comes and the dad starts to get depressed because he can't golf anymore. his improved relationship with his daughter convinces him to look into mental health and he diagnoses himself with seasonal depression cuz it's not golfing season. This is where I work in the craft beer guy since the dad is gonna turn to alcohol, so they can both meet and talk about their problems. This is where you start to see the role golf dad's wife plays in all of this. Shes always giving him shit for golfing, and she's insecure about her weight and takes it out on her daughter. The craft beer guy helps him realize that he can’t be happy unless he finds someone who can accept him for his interests.
Seeing her dad that she's gotten close to down in the dumps, the daughter suggests they sneak out late at night to go golfing in the snow for shits and giggles. They have a great time but unfortunately the dad walks on top of a frozen water hazard, the ice cracks, and he gets stuck under the ice. The anorexic daughter tries to free him but she lacks the weight needed to free him, which is her big moment where she realizes she isn’t actually enormous. The mom figures out somehow that they went golfing and foresees the danger with her mom powers. She races over and gets there just in time to smash through the ice with her large heavy body. Then there's a bunch of dialogue about how it's great there is a diversity of body sizes in case you get stuck under the ice and need someone to break it. She apologizes to her daughter for taking out her problems on her and the dad survives so that makes it a happy ending. My movie is good because it teaches people to accept themselves and to pursue happiness. what do you guys think?

No clue why this is in the dumpster. This is the highest quality post this website has seen in at least a year.

Absolutely unhinged subplot, a+ writing.

I could see this being an obscure Wes Anderson movie. 10/10 would invest if I were a multi millionaire
