Description The setting takes place in modern Japan, where the 27 years old Taeko takes a vacation from work in order to visit the country side. But while doing so she unvoluntary brings along her 5th grade self, which keeps reminding her of different childhood memories. The plot is rather simple and straightforward, yet Ghibli manages as always to create a special and magic atmosphere out of the most common and ordinary things. It's a bit nostalgic, but highly pleasant journey to a different time and, for an European like me, an unique peek into a different culture. And yet, it's almost impossible failing to recognize parts of one's own childhood memories, especially the way the main character keeps floating back and forth between the past's and present's feelings and sensations. The animation is among the best I've ever seen, rich, smooth and packed with wonderful details. In my opinion it's yet an other Ghibli masterpiece I sincerely recommend to everyone in the mood for a calm and pleasant movie.
