A young boy named Mahito, yearning for his mother, ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning.

The long-awaited twelfth feature from director Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli’s latest is a triumph of animated storytelling. Using dream logic to take a tender look at grappling with loss, this film is a soul-stirring elegy, riotous dark comedy, and utterly enchanting adventure in equal measure.
