STORY
Mengmeng was the king of her motel kingdom —
She was as powerful as the wind itself…
Or so she thought.
Ansong, the king’s mother, built their castle herself —
As far away from her troubles as she could get...
Or so she thought.
7 year-old Mengmeng lives in a motel on the fringes of a dried up lake with her mother Ansong, the motel’s manager.
One day, Mengmeng accidentally digs up something she shouldn’t have: a rotting carcass, covered in maggots. That night, Mengmeng and her mother are visited by a mysterious stranger and a death-rattle wind.
CARRION is an eerie, coming-of-age immigrant folktale about a girl’s last evening with her mother as she knows her. As everything beneath the soil is unearthed, the dead are processed in more ways than one.
