Upon reaching the train station to death, a dejected soul is informed that he is lucky and will have another chance at life. He is placed in the body of a 14-year-old boy named Kobayashi Makoto, who has just committed suicide. Watched over by a neutral spirit named Purapura, the soul must figure out what his greatest sin and mistake in his former life was, before his time limit in Makoto's body runs out. He also has a number of other lesser duties he must complete, such as understanding what led Makoto to commit suicide in the first place and learning how to enjoy his second chance at life.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, philosophically-minded anime that uses magical realism to examine what makes life worth living, following a soul given a second chance to understand both their own sins and the pain of the teenager whose body they inhabit. It's a meditative journey through grief and rediscovery that earns its hopeful ending.
