[ Story ]
Tale inspired by 'nakiya' professional mourners that were once part of funerals in Japan. Directed by the cutting-edge Fujimura Akiyo, who directed "The Air We Can't See" in the omnibus Ten Years Japan overseen by Kore-eda Kazuhiro.
Yoshioka Eriko (Kubo Haruka) is a 28-year-old struggling actress who pretends like she's a success but makes her living doing part-time jobs. One day, she returns to her provincial hometown when her older sister Yukiko dies, and she takes up the 'nakiya' job that her sister did when she was alive.
