Summary
This delightful anime feature from director Sunao Katabuchi follows a spirited country girl and her shy new pal as they frolic in wheat fields and pretend they live a thousand years in the past, when the region was a glorious imperial city. But when real-world cares intrude on their fantasy lives, the girls must face their impending adolescence. Set in 1950s Japan, this anime is based on the autobiography of noted author Nobuko Takagi.
