Grave of the Fireflies

In the waning months of the Pacific War-with their mother and home lost in the bombing of Kobe, and their naval captain father still at sea-young siblings Seita and Sosuka Yokokawa had nowhere to turn but to a distant aunt. The resentments of their rations-strapped relation meant a return to the road, and no end to their hardships as they struggled to find their way in a ravaged nation, in this acclaimed animated effort from director Isao Takahata and Studio Ghibli. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English. In Japanese with English subtitles.
