Falling for the Manny

Alice, a single mother, has been put forward for partnership at her firm. The only obstacle she must overcome is the annual partners' family retreat, an event where the firm's senior members assess personal compatibility and teamwork and evaluate her suitability for the role.

is a film‑type programme classified under the movie genre. The title suggests a light‑hearted premise centred on personal relationships, and the format is presented as a single, self‑contained story rather than a series. The narrative follows Alice, a single mother who has been shortlisted for a partnership position at the firm where she works. As she moves closer to securing the promotion, she encounters a single, significant barrier: the company’s annual partners’ “family” retreat. This event, traditionally attended by the partners and their families, becomes the only obstacle standing between Alice and her new role. The retreat itself is described as an annual gathering, implying a regular, perhaps ceremonial, occasion for the firm’s senior staff. Because Alice is a single parent, the requirement to participate in a family‑oriented retreat presents a unique challenge for her. The story therefore hinges on how she navigates this particular hurdle while balancing her responsibilities as a mother and her professional ambitions. The central tension is built around the juxtaposition of her career aspirations with the expectations tied to the retreat, making the event the focal point of the plot’s conflict.
