A ROOTED SLICE-OF-LIFE ANIME ABOUT YOUNG LOVE AND THE DEPTH OF THE OCEAN

Josie has been in a wheel­chair sin­ce ear­ly child­hood. In her day­d­reams, the school­girl escapes her drea­ry life by gli­ding through the oce­an as a mer­maid. She gli­des through the oce­an as a mer­maid. On one of her few excur­si­ons, she meets Tsuneo. Their initi­al scep­ti­cism for each other fades, becau­se Tsuneo also loves the sea and is fasci­na­ted by Josie’s ima­gi­na­ti­ve world of thought. With him, she beg­ins to dis­co­ver the beau­tiful sides of life. The quiet­ly told sli­ce-of-life ani­me tells of a love in the here and now and at the same time exu­des the magic of Japanese ani­ma­ted films.
