Short Documentary (20 mins)

Berlin queer community members mourn the loss of their dead friends due to substance abuse and mental health crisis (and the loss of urban safe spaces in general) by sharing a personal materials, stories and honest criticism about the club/nightlife scene. Resembling glowing-in-the-dark fungi, they transform dead bodies and memories into a collective structure that sustains future living - radiating the light together as a network of support and care.
