Miko Yagumo (Elaiza Ikeda) is a shy and antisocial young girl. She is also a “room launderer”. Under the guidance of her eccentric uncle Goro (Joe Odagiri), she goes from apartment to apartment, giant goose lamp in hand, and squats in flats where murders and other untimely deaths have happened. In Japan, law requires landlords to divulge tragic passings to their next tenants, but the same law fails to specify how many subsequent renters one needs to inform! Miko thus acts as the transitory occupant, and the room in question retain its market value! Simple, but there’s a major hiccup: Miko has developed the ability to see the spirits of the deceased! And soon, her weird job gets weirder, and it becomes up to her to exorcise souls in perdition… and perhaps even solve an unresolved murder or two! (Fantasia International Film Festival)
