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.”
Eventually I’ve got time to watch it, with no kids around. My birthday.
Hnat was afraid of the heron. Nadiia wasn’t interested either. Solomia watched it a couple of times already.
Well, as I know the works is Miyazaki need to be watched many times before you can process them. I’d say it’s good.
The only one thing that let me puzzled is that it has nothing to do with the ‘How do you live?’ book. Which I’ve read. Weird, I’ve read this work is based on the book.
Otherwise, solid work. As always. Bravo, maestro. And thanks for all your hard work.
