The Many Deaths of Laila Starr
With humanity on the brink of conquering death permanently, the personification of Death herself is forced into mortal life as Laila Starr, a young woman in Mumbai grappling with an unfamiliar, fragile existence. Laila maneuvers her way into the time and place where the future inventor of immortality will be born, faced with a choice: stop the discovery that would end her old purpose forever, or let humanity remake the natural order.
Ram V and Filipe Andrade tell a lyrical, philosophical fable about mortality and meaning, using Laila's strange predicament to ask what death actually gives to life.
The former avatar of Death, now living an ordinary mortal life in Mumbai.
