A young boy named Mahito
yearning for his mother
ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead.

about life, death, and creation, in tribute to friendship,
from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.

Produced by Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki, the film features a musical score from Miyazaki’s long-time collaborator Joe Hisaishi. The theme song for the film “Spinning Globe” was penned and performed by global J-pop superstar Kenshi Yonezu.
