Return
When you meet a total stranger, you may have loved him before.
Directed by Andrew Silver
A supernatural romance built on reincarnation and past-life mystery, blending intimate emotional connection with existential uncertainty about identity and loss.
After reading an article about hypnotic regression, a woman whose maternal grandfather died when she was only three years old contacts the hypnotic subject named in the article believing that he is the reincarnation of her grandfather, and hoping that she can learn the truth about how he died.
