get on with it

‘Get On with it’ follows Frankie, an eight year old girl with a very active imagination, who finds out for the first time in a game of ‘Death Stuck In The Mud’ that everyone dies in real life. Although she has heard about death in stories, and films, she’s never understood it in the real-world sense, that it will happen to her, and everyone she loves. As human’s we’re constantly trying to work through the truth that our life ends, and in this film, we cut straight to the heart of that discovery through a child’s lens. We stay with Frankie after she finds out, at her Grandad’s 73rd birthday party, and become witness to her fear, fuelled by erratic imaginings on all the ways people can possibly die... Somehow, she must learn a way to get ok with it, a way to get on with it. The way we all do.
