Departures

A mourning cellist finds a new sense of direction by helping the deceased say their final goodbyes.

Daigo Kobayashi, a cellist, loses his job and moves back to his hometown with his wife. He answers a job ad, thinking it's for a travel agency, but discovers it's for a "Nokanshi" or "encoffineer," who prepares deceased bodies for burial.
