Sometimes you find what you need in the strangest places.

Molly is a young Asian woman trying to figure out where her father’s body is after his sudden death by suicide. Due to a challenging relationship with her mother, the location is being withheld from her.

While at her friend Elli’s house, Molly gets a call from her aunt telling her where she can find her father. The two friends jump into Elli’s car and race to get Molly to the funeral home so that Molly can see him. During the car ride Molly get’s an unsettling series of texts from her mother. After Elli proposes she can choose not to go, Molly makes the choice to defy her mother and see him.

The pair end up at a funeral home. Upon meeting the funeral director, he tells Molly she can see her father one last time before he’s cremated the next day. Molly makes one small request and then, after the funeral director prepares the body, she goes to see him, finally confronted with the reality of her father’s death.

After leaving the viewing room, Molly thanks the funeral director for his help and tries to introduce him to Elli, only to collapse to the floor, crying. The surreal enormity of seeing her father for the last time finally subsuming her, she lets the grief take her as Elli looks on, unsure of how to comfort her. Once the moment passes, Molly makes an absurd joke that forces Elli and her to laugh, providing them both a release and a way forward for Molly.

Floor is a story based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
