Publisher Comments:

In the aftermath of a World War II bombing, two orphaned children struggle to survive in the Japanese countryside. To Seita and his four-year-old sister, the helplessness and indifference of their countrymen is even more painful than the enemy raids. Through desperation, hunger and grief, these children’s lives are as heartbreakingly fragile as their spirit and love is inspiring. This DVD will be source tagged with tags made by Sensormatic.

Synopsis:

DVD format, coded for Region 1; Dolby digital stereo.; dual-layer.

From mastermind Isao Takahata comes a tragic tale of two post-WWII Japanese orphans struggling to figure out where they fit in. After unfortunate circumstances leave them without parents, a brother and sister keep on the move between friends and family members only to find that home is not something you can reclaim.

This is simply one of the best anime films ever created. However, I warn that you will cry, and you will be affected. As you should be. The story may be fictional, but its origins are not, and all of humanity should be forced to witness the terror that bombs and guns unleash upon this world.
