I Dream of Dixie

Synopsis

A young mischievious lad named Wayne wants to impress one of the local girls by stealing his father's prized Everton 1933 football used by the legendary Dixie Dean himself. He thinks he'll show her the ball. But two scally lads take the ball and the chase is on. Wayne spends the rest of the day, to comic effect, trying to get the ball (which is now stuck in the lake) back. His friends fail miserably to help him but one person saves the day.

In a near-future world where ageing can be cured and death is now optional, Claire, a former provocative artist approaching her 250th birthday, decides she's had enough - she wants to die. Her decision stirs conflicts with her husband, daughter and AI assistant, revealing the humorous complexity of their relationships. As Claire uses her impending death to reclaim her role as an artist, she is forced to face what it really means to die, to live, and the messy absurdity of it all.
