Summary

A group of ten sits around in an old folks’ home, debating which of their friends’ funerals they’ll be able to attend. Their number gradually dwindles, and the remaining members become increasingly aware of their mortality. Upon dying, each character describes who they were when they were younger. All played by teens, these characters both come to terms with age and transcend it.
