Cinema Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenMasterpiece by Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli, set during the final months of World War II.
This gripping film tells the story of young Seita and his sister Setsuko, who try to survive in bomb-ravaged Japan during the final months of World War II.
What begins as a search for safety soon turns into a poignant portrait of loss, innocence and the cruelty of war - as seen through the eyes of children. Unlike many other animated films, Grave of the Fireflies is not a fantasy, but a realistic and emotional account that makes a deep impression.
