Spirit World

Claire, a world-renowned chanson singer, falls into grief after losing her beloved pet dog. Believing in staying true to her profession during tough times, she travels to Tokyo for a concert. There, Yuzo, who has never met her in person but has been her ardent fan for a lifetime, is waiting. He was once a member of a popular band but now lives a lonely life with a terminal illness after his divorce. A few days before the long-awaited concert, he passes away while listening to Claire's vinyl at home. His son visits Yuzo's house for the funeral and to sort out his belongings, then attends Claire's concert in his father's place. The concert concludes successfully amidst much acclaim. However, Claire also suddenly passes away. Contrary to her belief that nothing existed after death, she finds herself lingering in this world as a soul, which greatly bewilders her. Fortunately, she soon encounters Yuzo's soul, and despite the lingual barrier, they naturally understand and comfort each other. Claire seeks answers that perhaps no one else has, and Yuzo willingly offers to be her guide.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
