Description

There is a place where life's end can become a new beginning as someone, or something, entirely different. When a young boy's grandfather dies, he is overwhelmed with the confusion of knowing that they will never see each other again. In his extraordinary dreams, they meet again, and in the magical Life Transfer City he comes to accept his grandfather's passing and remember the experiences they have shared.
