When I Die

When I Die

After fixating on a lifeless body at an open-casket funeral, Lianne’s world turns upside down as she grapples with the fragility and unpredictability of life. Convinced that certainty will rid her of her paralyzing fear, she sets out on a journey to figure out her after-life plans, inscribing it into her own version of a will. As her uncertainty surrounding death grows with every additional question, she begins to lose sight of her surroundings as well as push away her loved ones. Ultimately, it is the thought of losing someone she loves dearly that leads her to realize that the beauty of living lies in the relationships we form and our shared experiences.
