From acclaimed director Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars, Wolf
Children) and Japan’s Studio Chizu comes MIRAI, a
daringly original story of love passed down through generations. When
four-year-old Kun meets his new baby sister, his world is turned upside down.
Named Mirai (meaning “future”), the baby quickly wins the hearts of Kun’s
entire family. As his mother returns to work, and his father struggles to run
the household, Kun becomes increasingly jealous of baby Mirai… until one day he
storms off into the garden, where he encounters strange guests from the past
and future – including his sister Mirai, as a teenager. Together, Kun and
teenage Mirai go on a journey through time and space, uncovering their family’s
incredible story. But why did Mirai come from the future? An official selection
at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, and the epic capstone of director Mamoru
Hosoda’s career, Mirai is a sumptuous, magical, and
emotionally soaring adventure about the ties that bring families together and
make us who we are. (Japan, 2018, 98 mins, PG | Dir. Mamoru Hosoda)
The English dub features the voices of John Cho (Star
Trek, Searching), Rebecca Hall (“The Town,” “Christine”), and Daniel Dae
Kim (“LOST”, “Hawaii Five-0”, “The Good Doctor”, 3AD Media)
