The documentary film has a sweet, hopeful message about finding it in you to follow your dreams and passion, irrespective of the age you are at. The title suggests that you undergo a second birth the moment you have this realisation, followed by the choice to see it through.
The narrative elucidates the same point further by bringing in examples of three men who decided make time to follow music, writing and their interest in wildlife, respectively, even after the age of fifty. The film communicates the message to the viewer by reminding them to find their ikigai, or their purpose of existence, by using the stories of three of its subjects as examples. This is precisely the sentiment the narrative of You Only Live Twice wants to leave you with at its conclusion.
