While the Second World War rages, the teenage Mahito, haunted by his mother's tragic death, is relocated from Tokyo to the serene rural home of his new stepmother Natsuko, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the boy's mother. As he tries to adjust, this strange new world grows even stranger following the appearance of a persistent gray heron, who perplexes and bedevils Mahito, dubbing him the "long-awaited one."
Halfway through the movie I still didn't have a clue about what was happening. Then I thought, how nice it is not to understand and enjoy it anyway. Beautiful animations, cute creatures and lost of laughs.
Yeah man, I feel that too
