The film follows 17-year-old Suzume Iwato, a high schooler living in a quiet town in Kyushu. Her life takes an extraordinary turn when she encounters Souta, a "Closer" who is searching for mysterious doors that lead to a realm called the "Ever-After". When these doors open, they unleash a supernatural "worm" that causes catastrophic earthquakes across Japan. Together, Suzume and Souta must travel across the country to lock these portals and prevent further disaster.

Watching Suzume in offers the best of both worlds:

Suzume (2022), the latest masterpiece from acclaimed director Makoto Shinkai ( Your Name , Weathering with You ), is a breathtaking journey through Japan’s landscapes and mythology. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to Shinkai’s "Disaster Trilogy," the film’s stunning animation and emotional depth make it a must-watch.
