Back

410[GONE]

A young woman, unable to accept her brother’s suicide, goes to the Land of the Dead in search of him. Meanwhile, in the Land of the Dead, the brother finds himself in the company of the Goddess of Mercy (“a secretly sadistic lady”) and the Monkey King (“a sneaky fucker”). Here, time is suspended, the contents of souls are weighed, and Dance Dance Revolution holds the key to transmigration. On this fantastical journey into the underworld, a sister and brother face the ultimate question: If there is no love without pain, what does it mean to love? This is an autobiographical exploration of grief.
