Kindling follows five women, all navigating perimenopause, as they attempt to fulfill their late friend Mei’s final wish: to scatter her ashes deep in a Welsh redwood forest. Though mostly strangers to each other, they’re united by grief—but that fragile bond is tested as the trip quickly unravels. Lost in the wilderness without phone signal, shelter, or proper supplies, tensions rise with every soaked baguette, forgotten HRT patch, and echo of Celtic folklore. Amid stormy skies and buried resentments, Kindling becomes a funny and touching exploration of loss, aging, unlikely friendships, and the messiness of letting go.
