## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn drizzle on the courthouse steps. A black umbrella twists in the wind. The defence attorney’s file bulges with a 16th-century revenant’s signed confession—ink still damp as yesterday. One question: did a ghost murder a billionaire?

A dead man’s wigged spectre drifts into the dock, adjusting his collar before the judge can rap the gavel.

Mitani’s mid-air legal farce where paper fans become exhibits and ghostwriters rewrite verdicts.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, playful, surreal
