Let’s Be Happy

In the wake of a modest inheritance from her Scottish‑born grandfather, Jeannie MacLean abandons her quiet Vermont routine and sets sail for the mist‑kissed hills and historic streets of Scotland. The promise of tracing family roots intertwines with the excitement of a new continent, framing a journey that feels as much about self‑discovery as about heritage. The film opens amid the bustling energy of Edinburgh’s festival season, a backdrop of music, theatre and rain‑slicked cobblestones that instantly immerses the viewer in a world where tradition and modernity dance together.

A chance meeting aboard the transatlantic flight introduces Stanley Smith, a boisterous salesman whose swagger and irrepressible confidence provide a lively counterpoint to Jeannie’s more measured nature. Their rapport, built on shared moments of turbulence and cramped dining cars, hints at a chemistry that could blossom—or spark—against the city’s romantic canvas. As they wander through ancient alleyways, the pair encounters Lord James McNairn, a charismatic landowner whose polished manners and keen interest in Jeannie add another layer of intrigue, suggesting both the allure of aristocratic charm and the subtle game of social expectations.

The tone balances light‑hearted wit with the gentle melancholy of a young woman confronting unknown possibilities. Edinburgh itself becomes a character, its historic castles, lochs and bustling cafés offering both comfort and mystery. Jeannie’s interactions with Stanley’s flamboyant confidence and James’s genteel propriety set up an engaging triangle of personalities, each inviting her to view the world—and her future—from a different angle. Against this richly textured setting, the story promises romance, self‑reflection, and the delightful uncertainty that comes with a fresh start in a land where the past whispers through every stone.
