To fans of Japanese anime, Shinkai Makoto likely needs little introduction. Shinkai made a splash debut with his self-animated, written, produced and directed Voices of a Distant Star (premiered WFAC 2003) with nothing more than a home computer, a stunning vision and a great script. Now, he brings us his first full-length feature film.

An anthology in three parts, the story is set in three different periods of the life of young Takaki Touno, a young man growing up in Japan, and the relationship between him and his close friend Akari Shinohara that came to define him.
