Representing the country's 2020 Academy Awards Best International Feature Film submission, Japanese anime writer director Makoto Shinkai, who obtained international recognition with Your Name (2016), returns with a romantic mythical-magical tale, grounded in a mix of Shinto philosophy and folklore with modern genre tropes.
Hina (Nana Mori), is a teenage orphan girl who has the power to change the weather through prayer. Together with runaway Morishima Hodaka (Daigo Kotaro), she sells her power to dispell the rain in favor of sunshine for private occasions. However, Hodaka and Hina soon learn that affecting weather change comes with a cost.
The CG aided photorealistic artwork is phenomenally detailed with lush 3D backdrops, splashes of reflective light and vibrant pastel color palette. A compelling soundtrack by returning Japanese rock band Radwimps combines pop tunes with a classic symphonic score.
