All things in life feel fleeting or obsolete, and the pursuit of personal freedom may just require bidding farewell. This illuminating collection of queer shorts will take you on a trip to the past and to the future, providing a space for revisiting heartache before finally severing ties for good. From fraught family relationships to toxic sweethearts and lovers that could have been, these queer experiences embrace it all. 

When a grieving couple goes to a "rental family" agency to hire an actor to role-play their dead son, they discover that their evening of remembrance is more than they bargained for.
