Keita Shimabukuro, a younger brother of Aki Shimabukuro who sells her body for a living, crashes in his sister's place. An evil plot by Sachi, the daughter of the leader of the Kimura gang, ends up with Keita dumped into a river. His body is washed ashore in heaven, where he sees his father Mitsuo, with whom he has lost touch for many years. By an unexpected twist of fate, Keita is resurrected but in the body of his sister. Now they have to share the same body with each other.
Directed by Tomonori Nakamura, Keita Never Die leans on a strong ensemble — Shigeo Ôsako, Maki Nishiyama, Tomonori Nakamura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2017.

Two master thieves go at odds with one another as one sets the other up for a crime. The first, a suave pro who does his job and then hides in his own privacy, listening to old jazz records and caring for his ailing dog, Wally. The other is a local gangster with a taste for the finer life, who decides to eliminate the competition. This ignites a war between the two men and their aides. An angry mob boss and a female police officer try to sort the mess before things get too out of hand.
