I saw a fantastic Japanese film one time called After Life. It was simply done and very powerful. The setting was a dormitory style place with "counselors" for the recently deceased. These people would meet with the deceased one on one and those spirits would have to choose one moment in their life, one memory, that they'd want to spend the rest of eternity in. Then they'd make a film of that moment and when the showed the film, the spirit could pass on. It's not supposed to be a depressing film but somewhat uplifting in thinking that despite everything a person experiences in life, there is usually at least ONE good moment or memory they could return to and be happy in.
Let's all try to find our memory of happiness when we're feeling down and just go there to rest and recover when we need to before having to deal with our lives as they exist.




P.S. I got it from Netflix for those here in the US and I'm sure you can find it if you're in another country.
