520    Daigo Kobayashi is a devoted cellist in an orchestra that 
       has just been dissolved and finds himself without a job. 
       He decides to move back to his old hometown with his wife 
       to look for work and start over. He answers a classified 
       ad entitled 'Departures' thinking it is an advertisement 
       for a travel agency. He discovers that the job is actually
       for a 'Nokanshi' or 'encoffineer,' a funeral professional 
       who prepares deceased bodies for burial and entry into the
       next life. While his wife and others despise the job, 
       Daigo takes a certain pride in his work and begins to 
       perfect the art, acting as a gentle gatekeeper between 
       life and death, between the departed and the family of the
       departed.
