Write about your vision of the afterlife, if you believe in one. If you don’t believe in one, write about what happens after we die or, if you prefer, write about your vision of what the afterlife should be.
In a movie, the main character will always go through a transformation of some kind. Usually it will become the polar opposite of the character he was when the story began. That's why we come to care about the character. We see him go through "the hero's journey."
My belief is that life is an ongoing lesson. If we go through life unable to learn the lesson we're supposed to, we will be reborn as someone else in different circumstances to experience this lesson again. Or examine this lesson from another perspective.
Those of us who live happily, learn from their mistakes, and impact the people or the world around us won't have to be reborn again. As the Hinduists would say, they'll reach the highest caste system and be met with Nirvana.
