Signs Of Life

Christchurch, post quakes, and the Earth is still settling. Containers line the damaged streets, whose inhabitants waver- like their city- suspended between disaster and recovery. Tony, very much alive, is declared dead, Gerald misreads one too many situations in his community patrol, and boomer Carla tries online dating. 

At the epicenter of these taut, magnetic stories is twenty-something Flick who, just as she is finding her feet again, faces another violent disruption- this time in human form- while her mostly-ex gets set to marry. 

Keenly observed and deftly humorous, Signs of Life turns on the smallest details to tell the biggest stories: how we carry on.
