A LITTLE BIT OF DYING

12-year-old Lou lives with her eccentric father Edgar, a failed artist whose manic phases swing between euphoria and depression. When Edgar loses his inheritance, he hatches the absurd idea that his paintings will only sell again after his death and so drags Lou and her brother Jonathan into an adventure where they declare their father dead – complete with a staged funeral and fake obituaries. But Edgar’s instability soon turns destructive, threatening Lou’s friendship with Jamil and pushing Jonathan to confront the truth about their father. Caught between loyalty and survival, Lou is forced to break free, discovering that family can also be found beyond the chaos of her home.
