This urban film cuts deep into an aspiring artist's innermost doubts. It's also about what Kondō knew well: apprenticeship, patient dedication to craft and nurturing friendship with other artists.

Instead of attempting to show us a fantasy world with their animation, the filmmakers use their medium to accentuate the small details in this one.

Like its characters, the film's horizons expand further as it progresses, creating an all-encompassing portrait of childhood dreams & the sacrifices we make to commit to them.

Perhaps the most unadulterated coming-of-age story in Ghibli's canon... a film of truly excellent observation.
