 This is a mystery absolutely no one will get. I watched a Japanese film years ago titled "Departures" where the lead expected to play the cello in the symphony orchestra. Didn't work out, so he took a job he thought was with a travel agency.... It was with an undertaker, helping those who have departed this world. It is a remarkably beautiful and touching film.

I'm definitely going to have to look up that film now. A lovely shot, even if the reference was lost on me without your backstory.
