What if we were only able to retain some of our memories after we die, and had to forget everything else? Which memories would we choose to keep?

After Life established Hirokazu Koreeda as an internationally important voice of auteur cinema. In Jack Thorne's touching theatrical version, the dead wake up in a waiting room in the beyond and only have one week to find their happiest memory...

Directed by Stas Zhyrkov, this is a work about the intimacy and significance of memory. Not a search for logic, but for comfort. A declaration of love for the beauty of spontaneous situations and time spent together. All worth remembering.
