Film Synopsis
Set during a period of exceptionally rainy weather, a high-school boy runs away from his troubled rural home to Tokyo and befriends an orphan girl who can manipulate the weather.
After running away from his remote island village to Tokyo, teenager Hodaka (Kotaro Daigo) finds his struggles to survive in the metropolis mirrored in the unusually rainy and overcast weather. When he meets Hina (Nana Mori), a teenage orphan with a mysterious ability to stop the rain, the two embark on an exciting business venture selling sunny days. From director Makoto Shinkai (Your Name), Weathering with You is a viscerally animated portrait of climate, spirituality, and adolescence.
