Synopsis
In a near-future where death becomes an algorithmic upgrade, Kate, a single mother, is told she has 30 days left. Expected to upload her perfected self, she resists. Fleeing to a rural zone with her son, she embraces flawed, messy humanity. In her final days, she performs unscripted truth on stage—uncategorizable, deleted, yet unforgettable. The 30-Day Farewell is a sci-fi fable about control, memory, and the right to remain imperfect.
