GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES



On the final days of World War II, 14-year-old Seita and his four-year-old sister Setsuko are orphaned after their mother is killed during an air-raid by American forces in Kobe, Japan. After having a falling-out with their aunt, they move into an abandoned bomb shelter. With no surviving relatives and their emergency funds and rations depleted, Seita and Setsuko must struggle to survive their hardships as well as those of their country, which is on the losing end of the war.



No doubt this is one of my favorite movies, by far.




LET THEM TELL YOU ABOUT THEIR LIVES:

A SENSLESS WAR

DEVASTATED IT ALL

BUT WE MANAGED

AND FOR A WHILE...

WE FORGOT ABOUT IT

AND WERE HAPPY

War soon caught up with us. Desolation was all around.

YOU WERE SO LITTLE THEN

AND I FAILED TO PROVIDE

But it didn't matter how much I tried, you got sick and times were extremely harsh. I was not able to do much for you. And then... you left.



Someone found my body too...

All I wanted was to be with you.

AND IN THE END, THIS WAR WON OVER US... BUT I DID FIND YOU AGAIN. I PROMISSED TO LOOK AFTER YOU AND I KEPT MY PROMISE, BEYOND TIME AND SPACE.
MY LOVE DID FIND YOU, LITTLE ONE.
