Death-à-Porter: A Radiodrama

"Death-à-Porter" is a darkly humorous and satirical exploration of life, death, beauty, and transformation. Francesca and Seb, two struggling makeup students, find themselves working at a funeral parlor and develop an unexpected fascination for thanato-aesthetic. As they grow proficient, they become also more daring, deciding to turn one of their jobs into an end-of-year project and submit it to a competition, becoming finalists. Their journey takes them into the bizarre world of the fashion industry, where they confront its shallowness and obsession with appearances. Through their experiences, the two protagonists come to understand that, when the purposes of one's life shift, it doesn't signify the demise of one's dreams, but rather their evolution into something new.
