Storyline
After a devastating breakup just weeks before a planned proposal, a 29-year-old gay kindergarten teacher, Jack, throws himself into dating, denial, and an unexpected therapy journey—only to discover that heartbreak isn’t something you “get over”, but something you learn to carry. Based on the internationally acclaimed play of the same title, “Jack Goes to Therapy” is being adapted into a webseries for Bell Fibe TV1.
