Saturday Yoke Shin : September special
This month, we are screening the Japanese animation movie, “Children Who Chase Lost Voices” by the director Shinkai Makoto who amazed the audience from all over the world with his animation called “Five centimeters per second” and “Voices of a distant star”.
Synopsis:
One day, a girl named Asuna hears a mysterious song on her crystal radio, a memento
of her father. She is never able to forget it, as it sounded almost like someone’s very heart itself made into song.
On the way to her favorite mountain hideout she is attacked by a strange beast and is saved by a young man named Shun. Coming from a faraway land called “Agartha”, he tells her he came to the surface because he wanted to meet someone, and had something he wanted to see.
The two begin to open their hearts to each other, but Shun suddenly disappears and Asuna is not able to find him. It is then she hears the terrible news… Asuna refuses to accept it, and in school she learns of the mythological underworld from her new homeroom teacher, Mr. Morisaki. One of its many names is Agartha, a place where secrets of the world are hidden and any wish you have may be granted.
Just then, a boy who looks just like Shun appears before Asuna being chased by a number of suspicious men. The men are after his Clavis, the key to Agartha. Driven into a corner, the gate to Agartha finally opens up before Asuna and the boy. There, Asuna learns that the leader of the men is actually Mr. Morisaki who has been searching for Agartha in hopes of reuniting with his late wife, and the boy, Shin, is Shun’s younger brother.
With the entrance to Agartha before her eyes, Asuna makes up her mind:
“I want to see him, once again.”
Asuna, Mr. Morisaki, and Shin, each with their own feelings in their hearts, set out on a journey into a land of legends…
