Okuribito

Cellist Daigo Kobayashi loses his job due to the dissolution of the orchestra. He sells the terribly expensive professional instrument he just bought and goes with his wife Mika to the province where his late mother left him a house. The boy's eyes catch the advertisement "We need an assistant to help those who are leaving. Work experience, education and age do not matter. High salary." Thinking it's a job at a travel agency, Daigo goes to the interview only to find out that there was a mistake in the ad, and it's not a travel agency at all, but a firm that prepares people for departure to the next world. That is, by washing-dressing-painting the dead. The work is not only unpleasant, but also almost shameful. And this becomes the beginning of a lot of misunderstandings and troubles.
