Just Like Heaven (2005)
It's a wonderful afterlife.
Shortly after David Abbott moves into his new San Francisco digs, he has an unwelcome visitor on his hands: winsome Elizabeth Masterson, who asserts that the apartment is hers -- and promptly vanishes. When she starts appearing and disappearing at will, David thinks she's a ghost, while Elizabeth is convinced she's alive.
In Just Like Heaven, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “afterlife apartment”. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing love, grief, death, memory, afterlife.
