More specifically, one new resident is a rebellious young man who objects to having to pick a single memory; meanwhile, another resident is an elderly man who cannot decide what memory to pick from the 72 years of his life. All of the employees are also deceased individuals; they remain employed at the facility because they were unable or unready to move on to eternity. This element gives rise to the drama that unfolds when one of the caseworkers realizes that one of the new residents was married to his former fiance prior to his own death as a very young man. Mise-en-Scene

One of the most interesting aspects of the film is the way that it is shot as a dramatic movie in some respects but as a documentary in others. In the first Personal Reaction

One of the most natural personal reactions to the film might be to apply the theme of the film to one's own life, such as by imagining what specific memory one would choose in the same situation as that which the characters find themselves. That may very well be the reason that the director avoided any suggestion of what might happen after the actual transition to the afterlife. By focusing on the significance of life memories, the director reminds his audience to appreciate their lives while they have that chance.
