Why this pick
Like Meeting Place, it uses an absurd afterlife-adjacent premise to examine alienation, desire and the disappointments of ordinary life, with dry humour and an unnervingly matter-of-fact tone.
Why this pick
A tender, philosophical vision of beings moving between the living and the dead, balancing melancholic wonder with close attention to what makes human life imperfectly precious.
Why this pick
This patient, mysterious film treats ghosts and mortality as part of everyday family life, creating a similarly offbeat passage between worlds with dry warmth rather than conventional horror.
Why this pick
A quieter supernatural drama in which a man’s posthumous presence exposes the unresolved emotions of those left behind, echoing Meeting Place’s interest in the living failing the dead’s expectations.
Why this pick
Its comic vision of the afterlife turns death into an administrative waiting room, using gentle satire and romance to ask what people have truly done with their time alive.

01 / THE STORY
An old archaeologist finds the Roman tombstone he's been searching for all his life. It covers the passage from "this" to "the other" world. While trying to move her, the professor has a heart attack and dies soon after. But, dead only to his surroundings, he is actually in a kind of state "between life and death." As he is both alive and dead at the same time, he establishes a connection between the living and the dead, so the dead, driven by the desire to see their relatives, go through the passage that the professor discovered under the Roman tombstone, to meet their loved ones in "this" world. But the world of the living is not what they imagined it to be.
