After Life

After Life

If you could choose only one memory to keep for eternity, what would it be? The profound question is approached with beguiling simplicity and sensitivity in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s revelatory international breakthrough film.

The recently deceased find themselves in a limbo realm where they must select a single cherished moment from life to be recreated on film to take into the next world. Shaped through hundreds of real interviews with Japanese citizens, the film explores how we create meaning and form identity from the succession of fleeting moments that define our experience.
