Elijah’s Ashes
Lawrence Shaw is an ordinary man struggling to find acceptance for his true self. At work, he doesn’t fit the macho image required to sell aggressive ad campaigns to beer brands, and in his personal life, he doesn’t conform to his boyfriend’s expectations of being more stereotypically gay. To complicate matters, his father, Elijah, has just passed away, leaving behind a final wish for Lawrence to embark on a road trip with his deeply homophobic half-brother, Kevin, to scatter his ashes. This hilariously misguided adventure explores themes of brotherly love and acceptance, posing the timeless question: Can you genuinely embrace someone else if you haven’t yet embraced yourself?
