| Summary |
This animated drama follows a young girl named Suzu, who in 1944 moves to the small town of Kure in Hiroshima where she marries Shusaku Hojo - a young clerk who works at the local naval base. Living with his family, Suzu becomes essential to the running of the household and creatively prepares meals during the tough wartime conditions. In 1945, intense bombings by the US military finally reach Kure with devastating effect to the townsfolk and their way of life. Suzu's life is changed irrevocably, but through perseverance and courage, she manages to continue to live life to the fullest. This beautiful yet tragic tale shows that even in the face of adversity and loss, people can come together and rebuild their lives. Winner of a Jury Award at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Nominated for Best Animated Feature - Independent at the Annie Awards. Nominated for Best International Feature Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. "An elegant reminder that we can never forget what life during wartime does to the human soul."--Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com |
