IN THE MOURNING
Every good story has an ending, but what can we say about the story when the ending–is off? Two estranged friends revisit the aftermath of a friend’s death due to COVID-19. In this story of mortality, grief, and transience, join Daud and Sabrina as they explore about deaths in this yet-ongoing pandemic, and in turn, perhaps consider what it may teach us about life.

STORY SUMMARY
“Is death the end of the journey? After spending a few years mourning the death of his best friend Ping An due to COVID-19, a chance encounter with an estranged close friend Sabrina sets him on a journey to recount his experience in reconciliation, COVID-19, and ultimately how death and its reception has changed through the loss of his best friend.
