Soul
dir. Pete Docter · 2020
Life is about discovering and embracing what truly makes us feel alive, beyond just our daily routines and expectations.
Plot
Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.
Why watch
*Soul* beautifully intertwines the journey of self-discovery with the vibrant pulse of jazz, inviting viewers to reflect on the essence of existence and the joy found in everyday moments. A visually stunning exploration of life, it resonates deeply with anyone seeking purpose and connection.
