Synopsis
Naoko Sugita et Heisuke Sugita forment un couple modèle, uni depuis plusieurs années par un amour solide et profond. Ensemble, ils ont une fille de 16 ans, Monami. Sensible à la crise que traverse sa fille, Naoko décide de partir quelques jours en tête-à-tête avec elle. Mais sur le trajet, au détour d’un virage, leur voiture quitte la route enneigée. Aussitôt appelé au chevet de sa famille, Heisuke doit affronter l’indicible, sa femme et sa fille ont toutes deux sombré dans un profond coma. Naoko ne reprend conscience que quelques instants, le temps de serrer une dernière fois la main de sa fille. Au moment même où celle-ci ouvre enfin les yeux, Naoko s’éteint. Déchiré entre la douleur d’avoir perdu sa femme et la joie de retrouver sa fille, Heisuke s’aperçoit que l’esprit de sa femme semble s’être glissé dans le corps de sa fille.Actors

The film tells the story of two Shinsengumi samurai. One of them is Saitō Hajime (played by Kōichi Satō), a heartless killer and the other is Yoshimura Kanichiro (played by Kiichi Nakai), who appears to be a money-grubbing and emotional swordsman from the northern area known as Nambu Morioka. The main storyline is set during the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, but it is told in a series of flashbacks as two characters reminisce. The themes include conflicting loyalty to the clan, lord, and family.

Early 20th Century Europe was a time and place rife with conflicting forces, from the battlefields of World War I to the peaceful countryside of rural England. Scientific advances such as electric light and photography appeared magical to some; spiritualism was championed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle while his friend Harry Houdini decried false mediums who prey upon grieving families. J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan charmed theatergoers of all ages. Young Frances Griffiths, whose father is missing in action, arrives by train to stay with her cousin Elsie Wright in rural Yorkshire.
