About the Film
Studio Ghibli and Academy Award®-nominated Isao Takahata's groundbreaking and emotional masterpiece, Grave of the Fireflies, comes to theaters on August 12, 13 & 15.
As the Empire of the Sun crumbles upon itself and a rain of firebombs falls upon Japan, the final death march of a nation is echoed in millions of smaller tragedies. This is the story of Seita and his younger sister Setsuko, two children forced to fend for themselves in the aftermath of fires that swept entire cities from the face of the earth. Their struggle is a tribute to the human spirit. Presented in its digitally remastered and restored format, Grave of the Fireflies is one of the rare films that truly deserves to be called a masterpiece.
Giveaway has ended. Congratulations to our lucky winners!
