It is a story of Geu-roo who has Asperger's syndrome and his uncle Sang-goo. The two meet through the death of Geu-roo's father and end up running a trauma cleaning business together. Working as trauma cleaners, both Geu-roo and Sang-goo uncover various stories of the deceased while experiencing different emotions and sentiments toward life, death and family.

"Move to Heaven" is directed by Kim Seong-ho, who is well known for his humanistic approach in the film "How to Steal a Dog", and written by Yoon Ji-ryeon whose works include such dramas as "Boys over Flowers" and "Angel Eyes".

"Move to Heaven" will launch exclusively on Netflix.
