Will (Winston Duke) is an administrator in an existential no-man’s land. Existing in a time and space outside of life as we know it, it is his job, along with the help of his assistant and friend Kyo (Benedict Wong), to vet a group of applicants vying for the chance to be born. Having previously been alive himself, Will is best suited to make the call and over the course of nine days engages the group in a number of activities designed to assist him in making his decision. Will spends the rest of his time monitoring his previous charges, witnessing and recording onto VHS tape, the significant moments of their lives.
Nine Days is the debut feature from Brazilian director Edson Oda, who picked up the 2020 screenwriting award for the movie at the Sundance Film Festival. It is a reflective and thought provoking rumination on life and how to live it.
