A small mid-20th century social-service-style office is a waystation for the souls of the recently deceased, where they are processed before entering their personal heaven – a single happy memory re-experienced for eternity. Every Monday, a new group of recently deceased people check in, and the “social workers” in the lodge explain their situation. Once the newly-dead have identified their happiest memories, workers design and replicate each person’s chosen memory, which is staged and filmed. At the end of the week, the recently deceased watch the films of their recreated happiest memories in a screening room. As soon as each person sees his or her own memory, he or she vanishes to whatever state of existence lies beyond and takes only that single memory with them. The story pays most attention to two of the “counselors,” Takashi (Arata) and Shiori (Oda). Takashi has been assigned to help an old man, Ichiro (played by Naito Taketoshi), select his memory. Reviewing videotape of Ichiro’s life, Takashi learns that Ichiro had married Takashi’s former fiancée after Takashi had been killed during World War II. Takashi has Ichiro assigned to another counselor, but is still troubled by his memories, causing both him and his quasi-romantic interest Shiori to re-examine their (after-) lives.

一个小型的20世纪中期社会服务风格的办公室是最近去世的人的灵魂的中转站，在那里他们在进入个人天堂之前被处理——这是一个永恒的快乐回忆。每周一，新的一群新近去世的人登记入住，小屋里的“社会工作者”解释他们的情况。一旦新死者确定了他们最幸福的记忆，工作人员就会设计并复制每个人所选择的记忆，并将其上演和拍摄下来。本周末，刚去世的人在放映室里观看他们重新创造的最美好回忆的电影。当每个人看到他或她自己的记忆时，他或她就会消失到任何存在的状态，只带走那一个记忆。故事中最受关注的是两位“顾问”，高志（Arata）和Shiori（Oda）。Takashi被指派帮助一位名叫Ichiro（由Naito Taketoshi饰演）的老人选择他的记忆。回顾一郎生活的录像带，高石得知一郎在高石在第二次世界大战中被杀后嫁给了高石的前未婚妻。Takashi已将Ichiro指派给另一名顾问，但他的记忆仍然困扰着他，导致他和他准浪漫的兴趣Shiori重新审视他们（后）的生活。
