Weathering with You
Director: Makoto Shinkai
Actors: Kotaro Daigo, Nana Mori, Tsubasa Honda
PlotA high school boy runs away to Tokyo, finding himself broke and isolated in the incessantly rainy city. Seeking shelter and employment, he stumbles upon a small, struggling publisher of an occult magazine, who takes him on as a live-in assistant. As the rain pours down without end, the boy's desire for a purpose and a brighter future become almost as palpable as the city's wish for a clear sky.
During his escapades in Tokyo, the boy encounters a bright and strong-willed girl with an enigmatic ability: she can summon the sun with a prayer, temporarily dissipating the rain and bringing relief to the waterlogged city. Fascinated by her power, he joins her in capitalizing on this unique talent. Together, they embark on a business venture, offering weather-changing services to a variety of clients. As their bond deepens, they unearth the weight and the consequences that accompany the miracle of sunshine amid the unending downpour.
