Actually I did misunderstand the word Vacuity. I took it to mean a vacuum, or empty. Sort of like if you call someone vacuous you are saying they are empty of thoughts.

In other words, I thought he was saying she discovered an emptiness of religion, not religious stupidity when she goes to a small town in Italy.

I guess you lean something new each day.

I believe Richiev knows the definition of vacuity. I think he's saying that it's not an accessible word in the context of this logline.

Maybe:

A religious wedding planner has to re-assess her beliefs when she is forced to travel to rural Italy and organize the wedding of a gay couple.

That said, the stakes of confronting her own religious beliefs are low and not very cinematic in my opinion.

I'm picturing this as a zany romcom? The religious aspect can be a theme but I don't know if the premise of "religious vacuity" can carry an entire script.

How about:

An uptight wedding planner is forced to travel to rural Italy and organize the wedding of a gay couple... one of whom is her ex-husband.

Okay, probably not anywhere close to your story - I was having a bit of fun - but I think you have a potentially fun premise if you can convey your wedding planner's goal/stakes/conflict/etc...

Vacuity means "inanity, stupidity, narrowness of mind"
