Watch: Ariana Grande’s ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ Short Film

Ariana Grande has lifted the veil on ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ – the companion short film for her ‘Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead’ album.

Directed by the superstar alongside frequent collaborator Christian Breslauer, this film centers on love, loss, growth, and the fleeting nature of memory.

Sewn together into a cinematic experience, the striking visual spotlights new cuts such as ‘Dandelion,’ ‘Past Life,’ ‘Hampstead,’ and ‘Warm.’

The film is billed as the official door-closer on the ‘Eternal Sunshine’ era.

Check out the film’s synopsis:

Seventy years have passed since we last saw Peaches (played by Ariana Grande). Now, she finds herself once again in the waiting room of Brighter Days Inc., but this time for a very different appointment. The company now offers advanced memory restoration, allowing her to revisit a curated selection of moments from her life—both cherished and painful. As Peaches embarks on this immersive journey, we watch her confront and heal certain wounds (personal and professional alike) that have made her who she is today.

She reconnects with her younger self who had been patiently in the wings for over a decade, as she works her way through the challenges of fame (she is the daughter of the very famous Brighter Days Inc. founder/doctor), personal sensationalism (resulting in being torn apart by stray cats), and generational trauma. In the end, with the help of her loved ones and art, she is able to come home to herself. She would do anything to experience it all again.

However, there’s one catch: once a memory is relived, it is erased forever.”
