dele
On tv asahi
A contemplative Japanese drama about two outsiders who uncover secrets in the digital afterlives of the dead, balancing procedural mystery with intimate questions about legacy and meaning.
Freelance programmer Sakagami is paralyzed in the lower half of his body and confined to a wheelchair. He sets up a company called dele.LIFE in partnership with a law firm established by his late father. At the request of clients, Sakagami works together with a freelance jack-of-all-trades Mashiba to delete all unfavorable digital records of their clients left in their computers and smartphones after they die. They are not supposed to see inside the files but when they feel something strange in the client’s death, they cannot help getting involved.
