Nine Days 2021 DVD Cover. A reclusive man conducts a series of interviews with human souls for a chance to be born.
Will (Winston Duke) spends his days at a distant outpost viewing live Point of View (POV) on TVs of people going about their daily lives until one of the subjects dies, leaving a void for a new life on Earth.

Will, on the other hand, is quickly confronted with his own existential crisis in the shape of free-spirited Emma (Zazie Beetz), a candidate who stands out from the crowd, prompting him to go within and confront his own chaotic history. He discovers a daring new route ahead in his own life, fueled by surprising force.
