Sexual identity, the occult, and imagination interlace in this wildly original coming of age story.

A mysterious, sensual ghost story, OCTAVIO IS DEAD! follows Tyler (Gadon) on an adventure that will define her life. Escaping her over – bearing mother (Arquette), Tyler enters the rich and strange world of her deceased father, Octavio (Trujillo), a father she never knew. Sexual identity, the occult, and the power of will versus imagination confront her on the journey.
