Synopsis

Fathom Events and GKIDS bring Masaaki Yuasa’s (The Night is Short, Walk on Girl, Devilman Crybaby) deeply emotional new film that applies his trademark visual ingenuity to a tale of romance, grief and self-discovery to theaters for a one-night premiere event. Hinako is a surf-loving college student who has just moved to a small seaside town. When a sudden fire breaks out at her apartment building, she is rescued by Minato, a handsome firefighter, and the two soon fall in love. Just as they become inseparable, Minato loses his life in an accident at sea. Hinako is so distraught that she can no longer even look at the ocean, but one day she sings a song that reminds her of their time together, and Minato appears in the water. From then on, she can summon him in any watery surface as she sings their song, but can the two really remain together forever? And what is the real reason for Minato’s sudden reappearance? Don’t miss this special event, featuring an exclusive interview with film producer Eunyoung Choi!

    This animated film was amazing. Not only was the animation great and had amazing colors, but it left you crying for more. Reading the synopsis, we all knew it was coming, but it didn’t stop me from getting attached to the wholesome relationship and crying even harder at…

    This movie is quite lacking in terms of plot but the romance was a sight to see develop. But at the end I couldn’t help but feel empty since it didn’t add up to anything in the end.

    the animation was a bit strange, but gorgeous. captivating! the pace of this movie felt off beat, either too fast or too slow, but it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. it was hard for me to cry, honestly, because of how light and funny a lot of this movie was mixed in…

    7/10- too much water

    It was a wonderful story, although I wish there had been an English dub track so I could have given full visual attention to the gorgeous animation, rather than having to read subtitles.
