Hallmark Hall of Fame movie “Remember Sunday” premiering Sunday, April 21, 9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT on ABC
“Remember Sunday” Synopsis
A lonely, down-on-her-luck waitress meets a handsome, quirky jewelry store clerk and thinks that maybe, finally, she’s met Mr. Right. The more Molly (Alexis Bledel) gets to know Gus (Zachary Levi), the more she’s intrigued by him. But she’s also mystified. Gus is absent-minded, preoccupied. Is he hiding something? The short answer is: yes. He’s reluctant to share with her that since suffering a brain aneurysm, he’s totally lost his short-term memory. Every day is a brand new day, his life starts anew. Every day he sees Molly he’s not able to connect the dots and recognize just how, exactly, she fits into his life. But there’s something about this beautiful, sensitive, funny woman that makes Gus fall in love with her all over again, day after day.

ABOUT Sushi Girl from Assembly Line and Level Up Productions
SUSHI GIRL centers on the compelling character of a man called “Fish,” just released after six years in jail after successfully not ratting on those involved in the robbery that sent him to prison. The night he is released, the men he protected with silence celebrate his freedom with a congratulatory dinner. The meal is a lavish array of sushi, served off the naked body of a beautiful young woman. The sushi girl seems catatonic, trained to ignore everything in the room, even if things become dangerous. Sure enough, the unwieldy thieves can’t help but open old wounds in an attempt to find their missing loot, with violent results.
