Soul

Everybody has a soul. Joe Gardner is about to find his.

A middle school teacher has a love for jazz music. After a successful gig 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 centre in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. He 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. This film is releasing in 2D and 3D.
