About the Film

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.

Mahito’s guide
is part-heron, part-man,
and cunningly juggles lies and the truth.

The boy makes new friends,
reunites with his mother,
and meets the world’s creator, the Granduncle.

“I’m so glad you were here.”

A semi-autobiographical fantasy
about life, death, and creation,
in tribute to friendship,
from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.
