New look on your own life. The storytelling goes from the bodyless soul which have no link to the particular body where it put on. Soul not interest in the life of certain human so it gives an impartial view on the life of an ordinary human and his daily environment. It gives the audience a chance to see the life from the new point of view. After this movie, the audience could rethink their opinion about their own life's.

The soul of the protagonist as like as the player of a computer game at first asks the mirror to see himself. This is the first strong emotional effect created by the film. The movie tells us the idea that the fact of your sex, race, country, century, in not such important as the fact that you get the chance to live! Now you start your own game. A chance like this is not given to everyone. And because of that, is not important with what and how you will start. Important now is how you will go forward.

Curator helps the protagonist takes this body to go throw his own trial. The protagonist has the bodiless nature of a soul. He as estranged observer free in his talks and free to talk with the curator to his issues to leave this body if he will dislike it. This plot trick is a good way to remove the barrier of the ordinary human before thinking about his own death or about exit his life by the suicide. When human start thinks about his own death or suicide, he or she meets with the taboo of this theme already in his own mind. And this is common. In public consciousness, any discussions about particulars deaths and the death not by the oldness are appreciated as negative. And the suicide as the choice of men or women to exit his life appreciates absolutely unacceptable. The authors of this movie artfully avoid all these problems by selling us the idea that the protagonist is not a human - he is a soul. If the owner of the body is already dead, the new tenant could think free about all what he see and got. And be free to leave this body if he will dislike it.

The main idea of the estranging viewer of his body is to deliver to him an idea that if you dislike the way how you live you could stop live like that in every moment. Because body as one of the obstacles must not dictate you how you must live. Of course, this plot twist is not called you to suicide. The new soul which get to the body of Mokoto start acts not like the previous owner. The main character looks at the life of Makoto before his suicide with the fresh look and ignores the opinions and expectations of the people around Makoto. The new behavior which did not depend from the others brings new results and begin the changings which Makoto can't bring in his life.

The main character being in the body of Makoto Kobayashi consistently changing conditions and circumstances of the past life of Makoto. The soul went a long way of understanding real obstacles life of Makoto and founds that the real life is more complex than Mokoto imagine. Explores the world of the daily routine of Makoto, Soul act another way than the owner of the body. The new approach gives new results which bring big changes to the previous daily of Makoto.

The film could be called as the instruction to escape from the difficult life circumstances. In the life of Makoto, we could find the wide collection of the most frequent cases which could be meetened by ordinary men and especially a teenager.

At the end of the movie, the main character opens that he is the soul of Makoto Kobayashi itself. The audience with Mokoto realized that all this time the spirit of Makoto was more strong, free, and independent than he thoughts earlier. Environment and public opinion make big pressure on the Makoto. He doesn't know the exit from an unpleasant environment and obstacles which became the result of his social-closeness. When he gets a chance to look at his life from the side and estrange himself from all his problems, he found him free in his choices. Makoto starts to act like he wants, not like public expectations of him.

This film wants to deliver to the audience the idea that after watching this movie all viewers get the second chance in their life to choose how they want to live their own lives. The story focused our attention on the similarity of the places of the Makoto and our own. The movie gives the viewer an opportunity to make the new look on his own life and make the changes if he or she don't want to live that way as he or she lived before.
