Page "A Matter of Life and Death (film)" Paragraph 5

Peter meets June, cycling back to her quarters after her night shift.

Conductor 71 ( an aristocrat executed in the French Revolution ) stops time to explain the situation to Peter and urge him to accept his death and accompany him to the Other World, but Peter demands that the matter be appealed.

While Conductor 71 consults his superiors, Peter continues to live his life.

Conductor 71 returns and informs him that he has been granted his appeal and has three days to prepare his case.

He may choose a defending counsel from among all the people who have died, but has great difficulty picking one.
