Big Death & Little Death
A dark and wildly funny portrait of death, neglect, hunger, rage, yearning, war, and car accidents. Big Death & Little Death is an apocalyptic fairy tale that promises a beautiful new life out of terrifying destruction. Like most teenagers, Gary struggles with his parents and relates through the soundtrack to his life: Death Metal. But as Gary deals with his father’s PTSD, his mother’s neglect to wear a seatbelt, his little sister’s inability to eat, and his guidance counselor’s wildly inappropriate guidance, he is left wondering: “Should I go to college out of state or destroy the Universe?”
