When Nick and Jan move into their new apartment in San Francisco, the batty landlady upstairs tells them about a girl who used to live there in the 20's: a brash young party girl named Maxie, who died in a car crash the morning before her big audition for a Hollywood studio. The trouble is, Maxie, or rather her ghost, hasn't left the house. Worse, she can take over Jan's body. And the only way she's going to leave is if she gets that audition.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fizzy supernatural rom-com where a restless 1920s starlet's ghost hijacks a modern woman's body to chase the Hollywood dream she never got. It's equal parts slapstick possession comedy and tender second-chance romance, with an underlying melancholy about unfulfilled ambitions and what haunts us.
