As her life-long guardianship of the sun's rise and set comes to an end, a ground-down recluse grapples with the scepticism of her eleven-year-old successor. A bittersweet drama short about what it means to surrender your life to something beyond your understanding.

It is 1339. (It is 2025.) People are cold. One man, Thomas Blanquette, might have a solution. Written and shot over 48 hours, and based on a local Bristolian legend, DEAD WIFE HUG asks 'how do things get invented?' and, more importantly, 'does my wife have to die for me to make anything good?'
