Synopsis
Sarah is 27 and dying. She throws a preemptive shiva for herself. Only three people show up: her ex-girlfriend, her overbearing mother, and Lou—her mother’s wildly unfiltered childhood best friend. What follows is a fast-talking, heart-spilling, deeply unconventional day of mourning where the living take center stage. The three sit and discuss lesbian sex, Judaism, legacy, and edible arrangements. They dye Sarah’s hair blue. Re-hash their respective relationships. And eventually? Dance. Reid Pop
