Synopsis by Mark Deming
A man discovers a newspaper that predicts the future in an unsettling manner in this thriller from Japan. Hideki Satomi (Hiroshi Mikami) is traveling with his wife and daughter when he has to stop to use a pay phone. While waiting, he finds a clipping from a newspaper, which features an obituary -- only the death notice tells of the passing of his young daughter. Only a few minutes later, an accident has claimed his child's life just as described in the obituary. Years later, Satomi is still reeling from the loss of his daughter, and as he slowly loses hold of his sanity, he begins to find other news clippings which foretell the deaths of other friends and family, and he becomes desperate to change their future before it's too late.
