The Life List

At a pivotal moment in her life, a young woman embarks on a journey that will forever change the way she sees the world—and herself. It all begins when her mother, in an unexpected and deeply intentional gesture, gives her a teenage bucket list she was never able to complete. More than just a collection of activities, the list becomes an emotional roadmap, guiding the protagonist through experiences that shape her path toward maturity and self-discovery.

What initially seems like a lighthearted challenge—almost a game—soon transforms into a profound adventure. Each item on the list opens a new door: a party never attended in her teens, a spontaneous trip, a song never sung in public. As she checks off each task, the young woman not only has fun and pushes her own limits, but also begins to uncover forgotten pieces of her mother’s past. With every step forward, she discovers family secrets that had remained hidden—some painful, others freeing.

Along the way, fate brings her into contact with someone unexpected: a person who not only accompanies her on this journey, but also teaches her a new way to understand love. What begins as a casual friendship slowly evolves into a romantic story that encourages her to open her heart, take risks, and trust.

However, beyond the romance or the mysteries of the past, the true heart of this story lies in the protagonist’s internal transformation. Through this journey inspired by her mother’s unfulfilled dreams, she reconnects with her identity, faces her fears, and begins to redefine her future. What started as a simple task becomes a deep search for meaning, belonging, and purpose.
