This movie broke me as a person! Stunning visuals and layered storytelling brought me to tears. I was not ready for the amazing voice acting and how fantastic this animated foreign language film would be.
Synopsis
Mahito, a young 12-year-old boy, struggles to settle in a new town after his mother’s death. However, when a talking heron informs Mahito that his mother is still alive, he enters an abandoned tower in search of her, which takes him to another world.
