Having lost her parents early in her life, Miko was raised by her somewhat shady uncle Goro. He uses Miko’s talent to see ghosts to cleanse apartments in which someone was murdered or committed suicide. Kenji KATAGIRI’s debut film skillfully combines fantasy, drama, and comedy. Surrounded by a cast of experienced colleagues, young Elaiza IKEDA delivers a brilliant performance in the leading role.
