This is the third film in the Stuttgart Weird Weekender Festival.
Shina is a highly successful actress in Japan who's going through a crisis.
She doesn't enjoy her work any more. She thinks her roles are shallow and
meaningless. To get away from it all, she goes on an extended holiday to
America with her boyfriend. After an argument he dumps her, leaving her alone
in New York without money and without her phone. Worse still, she can't speak
a word of English.
She's taken in by Jack, a young man who's just been given a $1000 budget to
make his first film. It's "Death vs Love", the story of a serial killer who's
being haunted by his ex-girlfriend. Jack offers to let Shina stay with him, as
long as she appears in his film. The ghost is the leading actress, but it's
also a non-speaking role. Perfect for Shina!
The film follows the rules of romantic comedies. It's a wonderful film.
