The Japanese Ijintachi Tono Natsu was based on a novel by Taichi Yamada. Morio Kazama plays a television writer whose spirits are crushed by his divorce. The writer moves into a tiny apartment in another part of town, hoping for a fresh start in life. But his emotions are in for another jolt: his new neighbors are his long-lost parents, who had reportedly died years earlier. The film's English-language title is The Discarnates.
