Keiichi Hara directs this supernatural fantasy about a second chance at life penned by veteran director Yoshimitsu Morita. The film centers on Makoto (Koki Tanaka) a would-be teenaged suicide who is brought back to life when the spirit of another dead lad enters his body. This new lease on life comes with strings attached, though; Makoto needs to fix the greatest mistake of his past life. While the old Makoto was withdrawn and geeky, the revived version is outgoing and chipper. He is much more interested in exploring the world around him than meeting his ultimatum. He quickly learns that his family is adrift and utterly bored. The father (Sakae Takita) is a former volleyball star whose career was derailed after a bribery scandal. Now his former passion is felt fleetingly while coaching a volleyball team for housewives. His mother (Sawako Agawa) flirts with a hunky foreign English teacher. While time ticks away, he starts obsessing over his beautiful, yet aloof, classmate Hiroka (Asuka Komayu). Will Makoto be able to atone for his past sins in time?
