A young man rediscovers life through death.
 

Numbed and scarred by a tragic event in his teenage years, Kyohei takes a job as a “cleaner”, disposing of the belongings left behind by people who have died alone. There he meets Yuki, a young woman with a similarly troubled past... In a similar vein to the award-winning Departures, this moving film charts the rediscovery of life and love through the unlikely lens of death.
