In a world saturated with news about fires and species extinction that no one wants to read, Anna's elderly mother is dying. Anna and her two siblings decide that their mother must live, despite any medical advice or the mother's own wishes, embarking on a struggle and a condemnation against the horror of disappearance: the mother's mind is fading just like her body, the family is disintegrating, their reality around them is burning, and even Anna herself is disappearing. When one of Anna's fingers disappears and later her knee, no one seems to notice or pay attention. Wandering through hospital corridors, the collapse of their own lives, the infinite scroll of social media, and an Australia in flames, Anna, her mother, and her siblings dream of escaping to a magical world that is not dissipating before their eyes.
