In a world where the dead must atone for their sins by collecting souls in Purgatory, Mauve – a weary Collector – arrives at the home of Raymond, a blind man nearing death. Disguised as a vacuum saleswoman (a choice eerily tied to Raymond’s past), Mauve prepares to carry out her task. But Raymond isn’t fooled – he’s felt Death’s presence before. What begins as a routine collection spirals into a profound conversation on guilt, fate, and what it means to truly see someone. As Mauve confronts her own trapped existence and Raymond confronts the memory of a lost lover, the line between duty and empathy begins to blur. Collectors is a lyrical, unsettling meditation on grief – asking whether redemption is possible for the living, and even for Death herself.
