Synopsis
The Boy and the Heron
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."
Yellow Cat with Blue Eyes
A gray world filled with black animals, gray everyday life, and damp weather, where suddenly a yellow cat with blue eyes climbs out of its shabby cathouse.
