Celeste returns to their hometown not expecting to see anyone, but when their former best friend and ride for the evening drags them to a party they are fated for a long night ahead.

They are there to warn you that life is for the living. This experimental short film was shot on Super 8, hand processed at home, and scanned at Movette Film Transfer in San Francisco.
