A salaryman gains the chilling ability to see anyone's date of death with a single glance. A young woman inherits a peculiar umbrella from her late father, a device that becomes a portal to bygone days. A group of friends stumbles upon a mysterious public phone in the woods that rings with calls from the future.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This anthology is a masterclass in short-form storytelling, where every segment is a self-contained gem of concept and twist. The writing is sharp, often delivering a profound emotional or philosophical punch just minutes after establishing its bizarre premise.

What lingers after the credits is a sense of delightful unease, a curiosity about the hidden rules of our own world, and admiration for the economical yet deep character arcs. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Yasushi Ueda
