Ghibli Years caps off with the emotionally rapturing masterpiece of Isao Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies.
In the final months of World War II, 14-year-old Seita and his sister Setsuko are orphaned when their mother is killed during an air raid in Kobe, Japan. After a falling out with their aunt, they move into an abandoned bomb shelter. With no surviving relatives and their emergency rations depleted, Seita and Setsuko struggle to survive.
Based on the auto-biographical novel by Akiyuki Nosaka, Grave of the Fireflies pierces the heart with devastating impact and brashfully emotional storytelling.
