He applies to a want ad for ‘departures’ thinking it’s a job with a travel agent, only to discover it’s actually a post as assistant to a man who cleans dead bodies for departure to the afterlife. From this odd outline director Yôjirô Takita (Blood Gets in Your Eyes) creates a film or rare beauty. See it.
