Yokohama, 1963. Japan is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics—and the mood is one of both optimism and conflict as the young generation struggles to throw off the shackles of a troubled past. Against this backdrop of hope and change, a friendship begins to blossom between high school students Umi and Shun—but a buried secret from their past emerges to cast a shadow on the future and pull them apart.

"Absolutely beautiful story and animation, Hayao Miyazaki is one of the best animators in the world, his movies transport you into another dimension."

"This was a surprisingly engaging to watch. When I first started it, it was just because if was on my list to watch, not because I wanted to watch it. It quickly caught my interest, though. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 is because I have a favorite Studio Ghibli move and this one did quiet meet that level!"
