The crowd of press at the Wake cast and crew photo op.

The description listed for Wake in the Cinequest guide was for a film in a parallel universe. This film was much more interesting. Carys is broken emotionally. She attends the funerals of strangers in an attempt to fix herself. The most unlikely of events happen and she falls in love with the grieving fiancé. Unfortunately, the love is based on lies, on both sides.

Spiraling misunderstandings are common for romantic comedy films. After seeing enough of those films, most situations are anticipated, but these were mostly fun to watch. There was one twist I didn't expect, although I probably should have. I felt the ending didn't quite fit the circumstances, but it could have been much worse.
