“‘The Care and Keeping of You’ never prepared me for creeping existential dread.”
Trigger warnings: suicide, child sexual abuse, transphobia
When Nils's ex-girlfriend dies suddenly, she drags him back into a toxic online roleplay scene he swore he'd never return to. He'd been doing okay sticking to his seven-year plan for getting over their breakup - but now, everyone either blames him or expects him to have answers, and he's getting nasty anonymous messages that might be coming from beyond the grave. A nuanced examination of identity, trauma, assault, grief, and mental health through an online world.
Written by Aliza Goldstein. Directed by Alison Kozar.

Nils:
You’re you
at the end of everything
you’re still you
just
a better
truer
you
Moody:
But how do I become that person?
Where do I even start?
