Fantastic Shorts II

Although inevitable, there are few events in life that are more shocking and upsetting than the loss of a loved one. But is death really the final curtain that falls, or just a veil that we pass through on our way to the afterlife? And if the latter is true, what does life after death bring? A continuation on another plane of existence or a second chance in the form of reincarnation? While life's oldest questions defy a definitive answer, film-makers have always tried to use their imagination to shed some light on such incomprehensible mysteries. With just the right amount of brightness to pierce the shroud, they illuminate stories of unspeakable loss, undying love and unexpected reunion. Life is short, and so is this programme. Enjoy it while it lasts and take a look at what might come next.
