Life After Life(2017)

Life After Life is a magical realist film that blurs the boundary between the living and the dead. When a boy chases a hare into the forest, he returns transformed—now speaking with the voice of his deceased mother. The mother's spirit, inhabiting her son's body, has returned with a single purpose: to replant a tree that once stood before their abandoned home. The film unfolds with quiet acceptance rather than shock, exploring themes of loss, memory, and the unfinished business that binds families across death. Shot with poetic restraint, Life After Life examines how grief manifests not as horror but as gentle, persistent presence. The narrative moves between the tangible world of the forest and the ethereal realm of the supernatural, creating a meditation on what it means to return and what it takes to let go.
