Human beings are the only animals capable of contemplating their own mortality. And yet we have lost the practical wisdom of what happens when we die. More importantly, we ignore it.
Flying ants have 24 hours to live, then they die. On a hot summer’s day, the flying ants appear from the ground in an attempt to squeeze as much life as they can out of their time. At the same time, a family arrives at a hospital room to say goodbye to their dying mum.
This dark comedy explores the human trials of grieving and how disconnected we have become in accepting our destiny.
Content Warnings: Partial nudity, Strong language, Themes of death and dying, including discussions of mortality and grief.
