From Up on Poppy Hill

Overview

In the vibrant, bustling port town of Yokohama, 1963, as Japan surges towards a hopeful future, two high school students find themselves unexpectedly drawn together. Umi, a diligent young woman with a quiet strength, navigates her daily life running a boarding house and caring for her younger siblings. Shun, a charismatic and artistic boy, is a passionate advocate for saving a historic, yet dilapidated, clubhouse – a relic of a bygone era – from demolition. As their lives intertwine amidst the poignant beauty of a changing world, a profound connection blossoms between them, tinged with the melancholic echoes of their past and the uncertainties of their future.
