The premise
Defence lawyer Emi is assigned to a particularly unusual case: a man is suspected of murdering his wealthy wife, and his only alibi is a 421-year old ghost, Rokubei. At first Emi is hesitant, but when she pursues her lead she is visited by the ghost herself. And so the fun begins in the courtroom when Prosecutor Osano starts to cross examine.
Horror Vault's take
When defence attorney Emi takes on a murder case with the most unconventional alibi imaginable — a ghost who has been wandering the earth for over four centuries — she finds herself drawn into a world where the boundary between the living and the dead becomes legally relevant. What begins as scepticism quickly turns into something far stranger when the ancient spirit makes his presence known to her personally. The courtroom becomes an arena unlike any other as Emi must somehow make a 421-year-old witness credible before a very sceptical prosecutor. This Japanese fantasy-comedy plays its supernatural premise for warm, witty effect rather than outright scares.
