Dead or Dying

Michael wakes up in a hospital with a diagnosis of 'clinically dead, but not entirely.' Doctors can't explain why his heart beats once an hour while he feels perfectly fine, aside from a slight numbness in his limbs. Instead of panicking, he decides to use his liminal state to finally tie up loose ends: repay an old debt to a childhood friend, confess his feelings to a coworker, and find his neighbor's missing cat. This 2026 dark comedy balances on the edge of absurdity and tender humanity, turning existential dread into a reason for ridiculous and heartfelt adventures. The director explores the theme of inevitability through an ironic lens, where each day lived between life and death becomes the most vivid.
