ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Making his feature-film debut after a series of highly acclaimed and award-winning short films and music videos, Japanese Brazilian director Edson Oda delivers a heartfelt and meditative vision of human souls in limbo, aching to be born against unimaginable odds, yet hindered by forces beyond their will. Sundance Film Festival award winner NINE DAYS follows a man who interviews five unborn souls to determine which one can be given life on Earth. Variety raves, "At the risk of overselling Edson Oda’s ultra-original, meaning-of-life directorial debut, there’s a big difference between NINE DAYS and pretty much every other film ever made. NINE DAYS invites you to re-consider your entire worldview.”

SYNOPSIS

Will (Winston Duke) spends his days in a remote outpost watching the live Point of View (POV) on TV’s of people going about their lives, until one subject perishes, leaving a vacancy for a new life on Earth. Soon, several candidates – unborn souls – arrive at Will’s to undergo tests determining their fitness, facing oblivion when they are deemed unsuitable. But Will soon faces his own existential challenge in the form of free-spirited Emma (Zazie Beetz), a candidate who is not like the others, forcing him to turn within and reckon with his own tumultuous past. Fueled by unexpected power, he discovers a bold new path forward in his own life.
