Link in bio. We'll see you at the wake. 🕯️#anamswake #officialtrailer #anamswakemovie #july31st I am not going to get into trouble with this family like this. Are you sure he will come? Death always arrives. He is invited. He is invited. If we do this wrong, he does not leave. He lingers in the silence. In the worlds. And you. When he knocks, I open. I open me, not him. What do you get if you open that door? Where do you go if you die? If you die, where do you go? So this is how it feels. To be invited.
