YOUR NAME

Directed by: Makoto Shinkai

Mitsuha is the daughter of the mayor of a small
mountain town. She’s a straightforward high
school girl who lives with her sister and her
grandmother and has no qualms about letting
it be known that she’s uninterested in Shinto
rituals or helping her father’s electoral campaign.
Instead she dreams of leaving the boring town
and trying her luck in Tokyo. Taki is a high
school boy in Tokyo who works part-time in
an Italian restaurant and aspires to become an
architect or an artist. Every night he has a
strange dream where he becomes… a high
school girl in a small mountain town.

“Stunningly animated and well-acted, this
extraordinary Japanese coming-of-age tale is
equal parts body-swap comedy, time-travel
Japanese Title: KIMI NO NA WA romance, and adventure film.”
