Paid Mourners follows a family of professional mourners, where the unique trade is passed down through the women of the household. 16-year-old Margo, however, has other plans. A rising TikTok star, she has no interest in continuing this decidedly unglamorous tradition. Her resolve is put to the test when her grandmother, Bavo, announces she has only one week to live. With Margo’s mother absent, the responsibility of inheriting the family legacy falls squarely on her shoulders. Determined to pass on the mantle, Bavo has only seven days to help Margo prepare her for the role she was born to take.
