Its a story
about a cellist (Daigo)who loses his job and must move back to his
hometown. Once back there he reconnects with his past, and comes to
terms with his life, love and dreams. Desperate to find a job, he
answers an ad listed under departures, which turns out to be
misspelled. It was supposed to say the departed, the job pertains
to dressing, washing, and putting makeup on the deceased before the
funeral. It is a job that most people look down upon because you
earn money when someone dies. At first Daigo, does not like his job
but little by little he comes to a new understanding of it. The
process of prepping the corpse is shown in detail within the
context of the story, and little by little we too as an audience
get sucked in. it is an incredible ceremony to witness.
