After a trauma that leaves her husband comatose, Diane agrees to a radical treatment—one that involves exercising his body by remote control. This short film explores Diane’s life and her thoughts about her marriage with this physical ghost of her husband.

A Better Life, which was written by Conor Holt and Ben Grell and directed by Holt, just finished the rounds on the festival circuit. It’s an intriguing look at marriage and caretaking, and what happens when grief, resentment, and hope are all tied together.
