    After Life explores the beliefs about the soul and what happens to it after we die.

    The film is about Anna Taylor (Christina Ricci), a school teacher who supposedly dies in a traffic accident. She wakes up and finds herself in a mortuary with the undertaker, Elliott Deacon (Liam Neeson), talking to her, explaining that she is dead.

    However, as time goes on, it becomes evident that not everything is what it seems. Deacon always locks the doors as if afraid that she may escape and every attempt she has made to communicate with her boyfriend, Paul Coleman (Justin Long) is disrupted by Deacon.

    Is Anna really dead? Or does the undertaker have a more sinister plan for keeping her?

    The film keeps you in suspense and guessing until the very end.
