Daigo is a former devoted cellist who finds himself without a job. He decides to move back to his hometown with his wife to look for work and start afresh.
He answers a classified ad entitled Departures, thinking it’s for a travel agency, only to discover that the job is actually for a “Nokanshi” or “encoffineer”: a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial and entry into the next life.
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2009 Oscars.
