When all their attempts to achieve happiness fail, even when fulfilling family expectations, a highly disciplined hetero cis woman must deconstruct and find out what she wants in all aspects of her life even if that includes rediscovering her sexuality to be happy.
Lol, in response to DPG?s idea about a 30-year-old woman who has never had an orgasm. There could be some very funny bits you could infuse into your story.

Lol, in response to DPG?s idea about a 30-year-old woman who has never had an orgasm. There could be some very funny bits you could infuse into your story.
Comedic bits:
She buys an old motorcycle and goes over a bunch of speed bumps.
She askes if she could use her friend?s dryer, loads a bunch of shoes and sits on top of it.
She tries horseback riding.
She goes to a very straight-laced hypnotist who normally helps people quit smoking and explains she wants him to help her have an orgasm.
She self-consciously tries to read, ?How to have an orgasm? while riding the subway, gets weird looks, then an eighty-year-old lady nods and gives her a thumbs up.
The basic idea is she looks up on-line all the things woman claim have given them an orgasm and tries them out? probably in the form of a montage. (Set to ?I touch myself? or some song along those lines depending on the rights)

I realize there can be a lot of gallows humor in the recovery process, as anyone who has attended AA meetings where people routinely confess to all the foolish things they did while drunk and the “heroic” efforts to remain in denial of their problem.? But? I, too,? failed to see what’s so funny about the dramatic situation as presented in the logline.? It seemed more pathetic than humorous.
And like mikepedley85 said, happiness is a subjective goal and loglines are about objective goals.? And there are plenty of them available to a recovering alcholoic.? Like? building a new career after wrecking the old one,? Working through the AA 8th and 9th steps with all the people she has hurt including maybe her marriage partner and her children.? IOW: work out her subjective need through her struggle to attain a specific objective goal.
fwiw

What’s the inciting incident that starts this story? Who is Ciara? We don’t need a name… it doesn’t add anything to the story. Instead tell us who she is – character and characteristic. What is she trying to achieve – what is her visual goal?
Hope this helps.
