In South Korea, people with suicidal tendencies close to coffins as part of a bizarre experiment called "The experience of death." There is an acute problem with the number of suicides - every day about 40 people take their own lives.

The youth are increasingly complaining about feeling the pressure of this rapid rhythm of life, while more elderly generation depressing growing financial costs.

The school "death experience" their experiment wants to show his depressive wards how life is priceless and beautiful, and death - is not an option.

During the experiment, 'patients' sign forged will, after which they are closed in a coffin all accompanying the funeral procession. In Seoul, this service is on the rise.

Sitting between the rows of coffins, with the 'students' pen and paper are listening center manager lecture, a former employee of the funeral company Jeong Yong Moon. He is trying to explain to everyone that all the difficulties faced by modern man, it's part of life. With all the problems that arise in reshimi life, just need to change our attitude towards them.

The majority of students are students and young people who find it difficult to cope with the pressure of examinations, the requirements of the parents, the difficulties start an independent life away from home.
