A woman coping with her mother’s death finds grim comedy — and final clarity — when grief, protein powder, and emotional neglect collide.

SYNOPSIS:

Sarah, a wedding video editor, is drowning in joy that isn’t hers while quietly preparing to lose her mother. As her family gathers, sings, and mourns, Sarah’s partner Paul escapes into the gym — lifting weights while she carries grief alone. Amid blenders exploding, awkward ashes, and moments of accidental comedy, their relationship fractures beyond repair. Told with deadpan humour and emotional precision, Ashes to Ashes explores how people cope differently with death — and how absence can hurt more than loss itself.
