Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone with a bit of wanderlust and people who like stories about real, flawed people, this one's for you. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as True Grit or The Hidden Fortress.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 25 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A vast wheat field, a straight road that has no end, a sky without a single building in sight – this is a town in the country where time comfortably passes by. But this former paradise is now being stirred up by a fight amongst its people over constructing an airport. This is a tale of three young people exploring youth and friendship as they reach out into the sky.
