Synopsis

Jhong wakes up at home and realizes he’s dead. He watches his wife and children dealing with his death while they voice their thoughts over breakfast. More absurd things begin to happen: his spirit starts getting nagged by his own corpse, the policeman who comes to help is terrified on seeing the spirit of Jhong, and Jhong’s wife insists on taking her husband’s corpse for a walk along the riverbank. Can You Hear Me? is a warm comedy that dissolves the conflict of generational communication problems in modern society.
