Additional InformationA Japanese boy of 14 and his 4 year old sister, attempt to seek refuge from the atrocities of World War II in the small city of Kobe. In post-World War II Japan, a janitor finds a metal sweet container beside a deathly ill boy. The janitor tosses the canister into the night, unwittingly beginning a most unusual tale of survival amid war. Brother and sister Seita and Setsuko, flee their disheveled home and deceased parents to make their bid for a new life. Before American troops begin to occupy their country, the children resort to dwelling in an abandoned bomb shelter in the countryside. Though these siblings later get a sense of safety, they realize necessities such as food and water will not be easy to come by. This stunning and emotional film comes from the studio that made SPIRITED AWAY.

    Brilliantly constructed story of children attempting to survive

    I wasn't sure it would live up to the hype, but the (japanese) vocal performers in the main roles were really excellent, and the visuals were up to the usually high quality of studio Ghibli.

    Heartbreaking

    This film is unlike any animation I've seen. It tells an emotional and gut wrenching story of sibling love and devotion in wartime Japan. Don't expect the film to glorify war in any way. It is brutally realistic in it's portrayal of a war's effect on the people of a country. And it's an animated film! Would recommend for any fans of Studio Ghibli, or just animation in general.
