GENRE: Thriller, Mystery
LOGLINE:


A student wants to go for ghost hunting out of sensationalism,
but after a fatal accident he learns that dying - like living
- is a developmental process.

SYNOPSIS:

IntroductionJonathan is a twenty-something who wants to go on a "ghost

hunt" with his girlfriend Mia, his best friend Leon (and his

girlfriend), accompanied by a medium: Jack. Their goal: an old

house where deceased souls must find rest. In the kitchen of

their student house, the medium explains that sometimes the

dead still have to find out for themselves that they are dead.

ConfrontationAs a group, they go for an evening walk in the direction of

the house. On the way, things go wrong: they are hit by a car.

The girls scream, there is great commotion. We see everything

from Jonathan's perspective: he seems unharmed and sees his

friend Leon lying on the ground, covered in blood. A policeman

comes running and applies First Aid. There seems to be a third

body lying there, but it is unclear who it is because of the

stress. The medium reassures Jonathan that they are still

trying to save Leon.

AloneWhen they get back home: the girls ignore him. He feels left

out, as if they blame him for his friend's near death - Leon

is in the hospital. At night Jonathan is kicked out of bed by

Mia. The next morning a phone call comes in: the message from

the hospital that his friend is probably not going to make it.

Mia cries and is angry.

ResolutionJonathan flees, he runs to the house. He wants to experience

if he can see his friend there. After Jonathan had a ghostly

experience, suddenly Mia also enters the house, along with the

medium Jack. For a moment Jonathan is happy that Mia is there,

but then he becomes worried. He is afraid that she is dead.

When he wants to touch her, he gets a shock. Then he realizes

that he is dead. Only now does he really notice her, even if

she can't see him anymore. Finally, Leon is at the door. He is

still a wandering soul. Jonathan lets him in and says: there

is a room available
