Storyline
Talib, a recently dead young man, must traverse Limbo with the assistance of his grandfather, Cameran, in a desperate attempt to live again.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Talib | Male 17 - 25 Years old |
Description Voice only. Talib is a young man, anxious, and sad. He’s spent his life chasing after an idealised version of himself, a version where he’s happy. In his daydreaming, he only became bitter about all the things he’d never have. This animated film begins at the moment of his death. Talib feels he never got a real chance to live, and from this feeling grows a desperation to return to his life before it’s too late. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Cameran | Male 60 - 80 Years old |
Description Voice only. Cameran is a flawed but playful old man with a good heart. When Cameran is suddenly faced with guiding his grandson to the afterlife, he can’t bear to tell him the reality of their situation, and would rather lie to keep his grandson happy than reveal the truth. As the lie snowballs, Cameran feels an overwhelming guilt and sadness, and must decide how to be honest with his only grandson in such a grave situation. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Actor | Mom | Female 30 - 45 Years old |
