While the Second World War rages, the teenage Mahito, haunted by his mother's tragic death, is relocated from Tokyo to the serene rural home of his new stepmother Natsuko, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the boy's mother. As he tries to adjust, this strange new world grows even stranger following the appearance of a persistent gray heron, who perplexes and bedevils Mahito, dubbing him the "long-awaited one."

The animations and the characters are, as always, a delight. The story, on the other hand, makes no sense, there's nothing to hold on to, no purpose.
On the one hand, it's thrilling to see Miyazaki at the cinema again, but on the other hand, the story is a bit boring...
