It will be screening in both subtitled and English-dubbed versions at cinemas. The teaser below is for the North American cinema release:
The Edinburgh International Film Festival describes the film as follows:
"Farm boy Roma is determined to upstage the school bullies with his own spectacular fireworks display. His friend Toto is back from Tokyo, and together they are a gang, with their own makeshift clubhouse – they are the DonGlees! But when the boys are accused of starting a fire, they must travel to the nearby mountain to prove their innocence. Cue the wild adventures. Atsuko Ishizuka blends heartfelt final-summer-of-youth vibes with stunning sequences of whimsical fantasy."
Ishizuka (A Place Further Than the Universe, No Game, No Life Zero, The Pet Girl of Sakurasou) directed the anime and penned the script, and Takahiro Yoshimatsu (A Place Further Than the Universe, Hunter × Hunter, Trigun) designed the characters. Kadokawa is distributing the film.
