Eternity

2025

In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive.

Why this age? The central premise involves death, bereavement, an afterlife, and emotionally complex romantic choices. PG-13 guidance supports older children and teens, though explicit violence or sex does not appear central. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
