It begins with a man named Nathan suddenly finding himself in the afterlife. He finds that he can ask any question he wants about his life, and see images that answer those questions. (It's not necessarily memories, because he can also see things that he never actually saw in life, as long as it is related to his life.) Of course, these are questions he couldn't possibly know the answer to even if it was about things he actually did experience firsthand. Some of it is about numbers of things that people simply don't count, and some of it is more existential, like feelings that people can't really quantify. Anyway... it's a very well-made little film, but very simple; both amusing and rather tragic. I guess I don't want to reveal any details. But I do need to mention that one of the people in Nathan's life, a woman named Paige, was played by Rose McIver.
