Inspired by true events, THE YEAR BETWEEN is the story of Clemence Miller (played by writer-director Alex Heller), a college sophomore who is forced to move back home after having a mental breakdown. Faced with a surprising diagnosis of bipolar disorder and a jarring return to the Illinois suburbs, Clemence has to learn how to live with her well-meaning but frustrated family and find balance in a world that seems hellbent on thwarting her.

Funny, warm-hearted, fresh, and biting, THE YEAR BETWEEN marks an impressive debut by writer, director, and star Alex Heller. Based on her own mental health struggles, Heller has crafted a poignant, powerful, and entertaining story of an individual and a family managing the sweet highs and raw lows of adjusting to a new normal.
