Join us for Isao Takahata’s masterwork of animation, a stunning and enduring story of human resilience in the face of the cruelties and personal and universal tragedies of war. Beautifully depicting the real life accounts of survivor Nosaka Akiyuki, this touching film starts in the final days of World War II. After their mother is killed by an American air raid, a family of orphans is forced to survive in a bomb shelter, clinging to their fleeting moments of happiness in their bleak and brutal reality.
