A FLIGHT TO PARADISE

A Flight to Paradise

A dream flight becomes a surreal reckoning at altitude.

A Flight to Paradise is a dark comedy about a man with an invisible mysterious illness who, after a lifetime of being dismissed, belittled, and gaslit by the privileged people around him, lures them onto a “dream flight” won through a fake peanut butter contest.

But as the plane climbs, so does the pressure, and soon, the passengers find themselves trapped in a surreal reckoning, forced to confront not just the harm they caused, but the hollow narratives they live by.

Paradise was promised. Something else boarded.

What begins as an absurdly perfect escape slowly becomes a sealed environment where performance, privilege and denial can no longer be maintained.

The higher the plane climbs, the harder it becomes to control the story everyone has been telling themselves.

At its centre

At cruising altitude, there is nowhere left to look away.

The cabin is sealed. The pressure keeps rising.

Paradise

A perfect escape sold through the language of fantasy and reward.

Gaslighting

A lifetime of dismissal becomes impossible to ignore inside a closed cabin.

Privilege

Comfort becomes fragile when familiar narratives stop protecting it.
