The Discarnates

The Discarnates (異人たちとの夏, Ijin Tachi to no Natsu) is a 1988 Japanese fantasy drama mystery film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi from a screenplay by Shin'ichi Ichikawa, based on the novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada.

Produced and distributed by Shochiku, the film was released in Japan on September 15, 1988. It was screened at the 16th Moscow International Film Festival where it competed for the Golden St. George but lost to Maurizio Nichetti's The Icicle Thief.

Hideo Harada is a TV drama writer who lives alone in an apartment after his divorce from his wife. While researching places for his written teleplay, he quickly realizes that he is in Asakusa, his childhood hometown. When he enters a theater, he notices a familiar man, only to find out that it is his long-deceased father, Hidekichi. Hidekichi invites his son to his home where he lives with his wife Fusako.
