Many various cinema chains had been listing previously in this week that on February 19 they would held the screening of the movie. The movie has been explained by GKIDS in following manner:
From visionary chief Masaaki Yuasa comes a profoundly enthusiastic new film that applies his trademark visual resourcefulness to a story of sentiment, despondency and self-disclosure.
Hinako is a surf-cherishing undergrad who has quite recently moved to a little ocean side town. At the point when an abrupt fire breaks out at her high rise, she is safeguarded by Minato, an attractive fireman, and the two before long experience passionate feelings for. Similarly as they become indivisible, Minato loses his life in a mishap adrift. Hinako is troubled to the point that she can never again even take a gander at the sea, yet one day she sings a melody that helps her to remember their time together, and Minato shows up in the water. From that point on, she can call him in any watery surface when she sings their tune, however can the two truly stay together until the end of time? What’s more, what is the genuine purpose behind Minato’s abrupt return?
