A mother killed in a tsunami wakes on a beach to discover she's dead — trapped in a limbo between worlds with a misfit group of departed souls (a yakuza, a film producer, a bullied student, a writer) who gather once a month in a silent "parade" to search for the living they left behind; the tone is dreamy, gentle, and quietly devastating, inspired by the 2011 Tōhoku disaster. Each spirit carries unfinished business that reflects a slice of Japanese society — organized crime, media, education, cinema — and together they confront regret, letting go, and whether love and art can transcend death,
