"Back Soon" is a rather interesting film. It tells the story of two straight men who are mysteriously brought together by/after a single night during which one of them dies beside the wife of the other who also dies in a hospital emergency room. The doctors try, but only the man, Gil, is brought back from the "light." As the spirit of the wife interacts with Gil and then her husband, there's a little bit of a "Ghost" thing that happens.

It's an ambitious storyline which is complimented by attention to characters over plot. And it's the characters that provide the charm to this "average production value" independent film.
