An aging astronaut can’t keep the stars out of his front room. A young woman decides to reverse her pregnancy. A husband loses face when his wife leaves him. A couple return from a funeral and find that their life together has changed.
These twisted tales play out in the borderland between the mundane and the magical, where anything is possible and nothing is quite as it seems. Sometimes strange, sometimes painfully real, they mourn the things we lose along the way.
They are about people who, like all of us, fall apart. And can be put back together.
