Six women stranded during a hurricane confront hunger, survival, and recovery in an absurdist dark comedy.
On a remote island, six women recovering from eating disorders become stranded inside their residential facility when a hurricane cuts off the electricity. As their food supply runs out, they are forced to confront whether they want to survive and whether they can accept who they become under extreme conditions. The dark comedy combines absurdist elements with themes of hunger, recovery, identity, and survival.
