Overview

Defence lawyer Emi is assigned to a particularly unusual case: a man is suspected of murdering his wealthy wife, and his only alibi is a 421-year old ghost, Rokubei. At first Emi is hesitant, but when she pursues her lead she is visited by the ghost herself. And so the fun begins in the courtroom when Prosecutor Osano starts to cross examine.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A delightfully peculiar courtroom drama where a defense lawyer must convince skeptical judges that a 421-year-old ghost witnessed a murder. It's a film that takes its supernatural mystery seriously while having genuine fun with the absurdity of the premise.
