如果你已死去，在前往天國的路途上，可以選擇生命裡的一個記憶永遠相隨，但是其餘的全部記憶都會被洗去，那麼，你會選擇哪一個人生回憶呢？《比海還深》導演是枝裕和早期代表作，將死亡化為空間，以記憶凝結永恆，透過幽默而溫柔的方式，觸探沉重的生死議題，意蘊清遠，沉靜低迴。

At a way station somewhere between heaven and earth, the newly dead are greeted by guides. Over the next three days, they will help the dead sift through their memories to find the one defining moment of their lives. The chosen moment will be re-created on film and taken with them when the dead pass on to heaven. This grave, beautifully crafted film reveals the surprising and ambiguous consequences of human recollection.
