Corrina, Corrina

In sun‑kissed 1959 Los Angeles, widower Manny Singer is trying to stitch together a life shattered by loss. A jingle writer by trade, he now finds his days filled with quiet housework and the soft echo of his daughter Molly’s sudden silence. Determined to bring some normalcy back to the home, Manny places an ad for help, opening the door to a vibrant new presence.

Enter Corrina Washington, a warm‑hearted housekeeper whose laugh seems to carry the rhythm of a different world. From the moment she steps through the front door, her easy confidence and undeniable kindness begin to draw Molly out of her shell, teaching her a simple way to communicate and offering gentle explanations about the afterlife that clash with Manny’s skeptical outlook. Their bond unfolds against the backdrop of a tightly knit, often conservative neighborhood, where the very sight of an interracial friendship hints at both curiosity and unease.

As Corrina settles in, the household’s daily routines start to hum with a new energy. Manny’s demanding work on advertising jingles and his cautious navigation of grief are mirrored by Corrina’s own quiet strength and subtle humor. New acquaintances—such as the lively divorcee Jenny Davis and Corrina’s supportive sister—add layers of warmth and occasional tension, suggesting that the house may become a place where lingering sorrow, budding affection, and the realities of 1950s social expectations intersect. The film’s tone remains tender and hopeful, inviting viewers to wonder how this unlikely family will learn to speak, love, and heal together.
