Greg Blair, your logline establishes a compelling time and place which immediately adds historical weight and looming tension. The emotional core is clear: a young man navigating grief while falling in love in a paradise on the brink of devastation. The combination of mystery, romance, and historical drama gives the story solid potential.

To strengthen the logline, consider adding more specificity about the stakes or the mystery behind the grandfather’s death. Is it suspicious? Is the investigation putting the protagonist in danger? Adding a hint of conflict or urgency could deepen the intrigue and emotional tension. As it stands, the premise is atmospheric and heartfelt, but a bit more detail would help distinguish it from other romantic period dramas and make it more immediately engaging.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
