Synopsis
Brother and sister, Elliot and Sally, are shocked by the death of their cat, Ginger. Sally tries to break the news to her brother lightly but he spirals into anxiety and begins analysing the state of his life. Sally, being less sensitive, dryly offers her perspective on Elliot’s panic and further, the dynamics of their family life. They banter about their quirky parents, their respective emotional glitches and the procedure which should follow the death of their cat.
