The Presence of the Dead (2019)
After receiving his last wage and sending it off to his home country, a house painter deliberately abandons his mobile phone on a park bench. Shortly after, a girl finds it and decides to keep it. She takes it as a sign sent directly to her that reveals the presence of the dead. A contemporary ghost story.
