A crumbling mural. A broken community. A man trying not to drink today. At the edge of a fading town, a group of recovering addicts are brought together to repaint a decaying wall. What starts as a community art project slowly becomes a lifeline, a place to talk, to fall apart, to hold each other up. MURAL is a raw and human story about addiction, loss, and the small, defiant acts that can keep someone alive. Even when they’re not sure they want to be.
