Classics: Grave of the Fireflies

This gripping film tells the story of young Seita and his sister Setsuko, who try to survive in bomb-ravaged Japan during the final months of World War II.

What begins as a search for safety soon turns into a poignant portrait of loss, innocence and the cruelty of war - as seen through the eyes of children. Unlike many other animated films, Grave of the Fireflies is not a fantasy, but a realistic and emotional account that makes a deep impression.
