Postponed
When three people die, their first step post-mortem is meeting a death consultant who allows them to each ask one question about anything (so many people die per day so only one question each is possible). As we start to learn about their connection, we begin to think of how arbitrary - or not- death really is. A dark humorous drama about humankind behavior and beliefs- before and after death.
