Mortals
Siblings Gigi and River ignite an ideological small-town war when they follow their grandma Pat’s end of life wishes to be transformed into mushrooms. River decides to homebrew a documentary out of the drama, and unravels a mycological tangle of pissed off park rangers, rifle-toting rivals, and secret lovers that filled Pat’s life. Mortals asks if communities can still exist without their secrets, if the marvels of mycology are all they’re cracked up to be, and if it’s possible to reimagine death itself.
