Työtön sellisti Daigo saa pestin ruumiiden valmistelijana. Ammatti on Japanissa tabu, joten Daigo ei voi kertoa totuutta siitä edes vaimolleen. Hartaasti suoritetut kuoleman valmistelut, lähdöt, alkavat kuitenkin kiehtoa Diegoa, ja hän ryhtyy pyrkimään ammattinsa täydelliseksi harjoittajaksi. Kauniisti ja kunnioittavasti kuvatun elokuvan ytimessä on sanoma siitä, että kuoleman rituaalit ovat eläviä, eivät kuolleita varten.
Five girls work in the tourism bureau of their small provincial town. The town revives its "micro-nation" tourism program, which originated from a nationwide movement during Japan's bubble economy period, and hires the five girls as "monarchs" (tourism ambassadors).
On a charming magical island, the impulsive Bee and her furry pal get up to all sorts of adventures while working for an intergalactic temp agency.
Bee is a young lady trying to make her way in the world. She often acts before thinking, which can lead her into trouble (and adventure!). She also has a strong, nurturing personality, and doesn’t think twice about taking in Puppycat when he needs help. Although her laid-back-space-casey attitude and lack of skills tend to keep her from maintaining a job for long in the human world, she isn’t someone who easily gives up, and with the experiences she gains at the magical temp agency she stumbles on, she’ll finally have the chance to find out what she’s meant to do with her life.
