synopsis
In a dimly lit restaurant that doubles as a celestial waiting room, a weary old man sits alone, gazing at the other diners. One by one, they transform into younger versions of himself and the people he loved—each reenacting the pivotal moments that shaped, scarred, and ultimately defined his life. Powerless to intervene, he becomes both judge and juror of a saga marked by misjudgments, bitterness, and missed chances. As the vignettes unfold, the truth dawns: he has already crossed the threshold of death and is witnessing the final reckoning of his own story—remembering not only the good times he clung to, but the bad times that quietly forged his fate.
