Tuesday is an 11-year-old girl in the grip of terminal illness. She realises her time is running out when Death shows up – in the form of a scruffy parrot. But something about Tuesday’s spirit stops Death in its tracks. As she offers Death some respite from the suffering of the world, Death lets her live a little longer. Tuesday is ready to say goodbye but her mother, Zora, isn’t ready to lose her daughter and goes to war with Death in this heart-breaking, wildly ambitious and fatalistic fairytale.

REVIEWS
“”… a moving and very eccentric feathered fantasy about life, death and everything in-between.”” ★★★★ John Nugent, Empire Magazine
“”… there’s no question that this is a remarkable and assured first feature.”” ★★★★ Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)
“”… a magical realist allegory, dramatising our feelings about mortality – grief, denial, acceptance, despair – and interrogating what a good death might even mean.”” Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
“”Without the power and nuance that Louis-Dreyfus brings to the role, the drama would not have nearly as much spine or impact as it does.”” Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
