The Place Promised in Our Early Days

In a 1996 Japan that had been partitioned postwar into a Soviet-controlled North and an American-controlled South, teenagers Hiroki, Takuya, and Sayuri looked north with wonder at the mysterious tower being erected across the border...or did, until Sayuri abruptly vanished. Years later, government intern Takuya would be tipped to the uncanny truths of the tower's purpose--and how Sayuri's disappearance was connected, in this debut anime feature from Makoto Shinkai. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: Japanese, English; Subtitles: English, Spanish; featurettes; theatrical trailers. In Japanese with English subtitles.
