DEATH AND SICKNESS

Duration: 80 minutes

A comedy-drama made by a cast and crew of two: Sook-Yin Lee and Dylan Gamble during the lockdown.

Sook-Yin and Dylan, two lonely and messed up strangers who recently met at a karaoke bar, decide to lockdown together in a tiny house during a global pandemic. They try to adapt to an upended world but as chaos rages on they lose grasp. ​When Sook-Yin communicates with the dead and tries to merge Dylan with her deceased lover, he scrambles to assert himself. ​Pushed to their limits, they dive into imaginative worlds with Dylan leading Sook-Yin through The Enchanted Arena to retrieve her lost soul. ​Death and Sickness unfolds in everyday events and psychedelic and sci-fi escapes. A bittersweet rumination on love and mortality that grieves the loss of the world as we know it and steps shakily into an unsettling and exhilarating future.
