An anniversary film needs more than a slideshow: tell the year in three gestures

Act one: begin with waiting

Look for each other in a crowd, turn back at a station, or stand together before the fireworks begin. A brief pause gives the next gesture meaning.

Act two: let chemistry replace dialogue

• Tap two cups together like a private signal
• Hold hands while walking without performing for the camera
• Fix a coat or brush back a strand of hair — care lives in small movements

End with what changed this year

Repeat one gesture across two moments in time. The most moving anniversary film is not proof of everywhere you went; it shows how the two of you arrived here.
