Synopsis

17-year-old run-away Yui and 8-year-old Hiyori, who lost her family and her voice, have no place to go when they run into Kiwa, a strange old lady. She offers them a place to stay, in a slightly banged-up old house overlooking the sea, a Mayoiga.

Despite joining Kiwa on a whim, the two girls find comfort in the Mayoiga, a legendary house said to look after lost travelers, and the warm hospitality of Kiwa. Both girls damaged hearts begin to heal little by little as time passes.

Until one day, a variety of strange beings which Kiwa calls Fushigitto begin popping up around the house…

Ten years after the Great East Japan Earthquake in Tohoku, as a result of which many people lost their lives and homes, KAWATSURA Shinya directs this brand-new animation feature adapted from KASHIWABA Sachikos novel, paying tribute to the area and its people. This is a heart-warming story of new beginnings and childhood wonder.
