Living and Dying and Being Dead Amelia French

About This Show
Pru is convinced that her mother is dead. Pen, Pru’s daughter, is not. As the two women struggle to control each other’s perception of reality, Pim, the potentially-deceased matriarch, and her cat, Mac, watch on. Amidst the conflict brewing between mother and daughter, Pen starts to witness the beginnings of Pru’s own decay and must face her desire to escape the ominous cycle of life and death that looms over her family.
