On the other side of the door, time was up—
The story follows Suzume, a 17-year-old girl from a quiet town of Kyūshū who meets a young man looking for a door. They found a door in the mountain ruins, and Suzume opened it. Before long, more doors began to open across Japan, bringing disaster on the other side. The film depicts Suzume’s liberation and growth, as she closes the doors that are causing disaster.
The stars
Sundown
Morning sky
In that kingdom, it seems that all time has melted together in the sky – Caught in by this mysterious door, Suzume’s journey is about to begin.
Shinkai says that the three key takeaways of the film are that it’s a long-running series around Japan, a story about “doors that close” instead of opening them, and a reason to go to the cinema. He further explains that closing can refer to forcing broken links or completing something.
Shinkai is directing the film and writing the script. The author is also credited with the original story. Masayoshi Tanaka is designing the characters. Kenichi Tsuchiya is the animation director. Takumi is the art director. CoMix Wave Films and Story Inc. in charge of anime production. TOHO is distributing the film.
