Both leads are talent wannabes that ended up as paid mourners. One is in traditional Chinese funeral that portrayed the job as loud wailing while the other is Japanese setting which was more on delicate manner.

A film about an unemployed and untalented cellist taking up a new job as a person who prepares body before putting into the coffin. After returning to hometown as a failure in the music world, he applies for a job with vague description. It turns out to be a job posting for "encoffiner", a person who performs rites and rituals before placing the body into the coffin. A 'tainted' job in the eyes of the society, but he eventually develops pride and purpose in this profession.
