Video Transcript:

You've passed away, Larry.

Who are you?

I'm Anna. I'm your afterlife coordinator.

That's not a job.

And this is the Junction, where you choose one place to spend eternity.

You want a little sniffle?

And who to spend it with.

Joan, Joan.

I was in bed, and then I—

You look amazing. I have shocking news. You're dead.

I’m dead.

It makes people laugh, but it is surprisingly emotional because it is a sincere film, and I think it makes us all reflect differently, whether it's about people we've lost or people we hope to be reunited with or how we even analyze our relationships.

I never dreamt you this clearly.

You're exactly how I dreamt you. Oh, no.

Who's this guy?

First husband.

He died in a war.

Joan --

I mean, death is something that's inevitable. And in this film, it's a really clever way to look at it and how you're going to spend it.

You're a lurker, pal. You're waiting beyond to spoil a half a century of marriage.

It's not a competition.

Yes, it is.

Sweetheart, it is 100% for sure a competition.

It is Factor competition.

That's literally what we're here for.
