The end of life tangled in cobwebs

The boundaries between life and death are carefully drawn on the male protagonist and the people and things around him.

As a psychic, the male protagonist guides his soul, and his sideline business usually provides a path for those who want to survive. However, what he tried to help others gained was blame and resentment. It's like being entangled in a spider's web, trying his best to help others break free from the web, but he's getting deeper and deeper.

At the same time, the male protagonist goes back and forth between self-blame and self-forgiveness. Maybe when he was dying, he didn't let himself go and left peacefully.

A very good movie, the powerless struggle of living at the bottom of society is clearly visible in the movie.
