Three different characters, three different experiences, finally met by encountering death in different ways.



1. She, him, him, experienced, confronted and cursed.



A woman from Paris, France, Maria, is a well-known host of a French radio station. While on vacation with his lover in Indonesia, he experienced a tsunami, was submerged by the sea, stepped into the door of death, and miraculously recovered. However, because of this experience of death, she has no intention of working and wants to explore the world about death. So her colleague and lover persuaded her to leave for a while to write a book.



A pair of twins from London, England live with their mother, but the mother is addicted to alcohol and drugs. The two sensible children are sent to foster care so as not to leave their mother, helping the mother to cover up the truth. The mother asked the younger brother Kubus to buy medicine. The elder brother Qiao Sen said that the younger brother's homework had not been completed, so he went out to buy medicine for the mother on his behalf. However, they encountered a group of ruffians on the way, and their mobile phone was almost stolen by them. When Qiao Sen was running, the oncoming bus hit him. Kubus on the other end of the phone felt wrong, and hurried to the street, but could only hold his brother's cold body.



Matt Damon plays George, a man in San Francisco who is a psychic, someone who can talk to the dead. When life is full of death, it is like a curse, preventing him from living a normal life. In order to escape this curse, George would rather work in a factory, and his monthly income of 2,000 yuan makes him happy, but he has always been single. When his hand touches anyone around him, he will face the dialogue of the dead.



2. She, he, him, looking for, confused or evaded...



Maria did not write the book of secrets about de Gaulle according to the regulations. Reality experienced by people at the door. When she returned to the company with the book that was about to be finished, she found that someone had already taken her place, and the book she wrote was rejected by the leader, and the funds were withdrawn.



Kubus, who lost his younger brother, was fostered by his mother because of guilt and decided to leave him to go to a drug rehab center, but he never spoke to his adoptive parents. He has always been wearing his brother's hat, missing his brother, relying on his brother, and longing to be with his brother.



George has always loved Dickens. In the training class of learning cooking, he met a girl and fell in love with this girl. As they approached slowly, the girl knew that he was a psychic, and her curiosity made her willful to verify this matter. So the most secret story in my heart was revealed, and a relationship ended.



3. Everyone will find their own soul when they meet because of death.



Maria's novels were picked up by British and American publishing houses, and she was invited to participate in the Book Fair in London, England. London's Kubbs found George online, who had come to Dickens' hometown of London to escape his life as a medium. Three completely different characters finally meet at the London Book Fair.



When George saw Maria and touched her hand, what appeared was her body floating in the sea. Is it love at first sight? Maybe everything is arranged by God. When George finds the answer for Kubbs, the melancholy sad boy finally faces reality.



4. We can't explore death, but we should know that living is beautiful.



Eastwood, the eighty-year-old director, once again interprets a story about death for us. And death brings people a kind of rebirth. People can't really reach the realm of death, and there is no need to study death thoroughly. Living is the best.

Many people have said that white light will appear at the time of death; others have said that there is darkness after death. If you live with death all the time, you may lose your normal life, but it also makes people understand everything. Life is precious, so life is cherished.

There is always such a person in life, waiting to meet you and belong to each other.
