Grave of the Fireflies
Hotaru no Haka
In 1945, as World War II winds down, Japan is being torn apart by relentless American bombing campaigns. Grave of the Fireflies follows two orphaned siblings, Seita and Setsuko, who've lost everything—their parents, their home, their future. With nothing left, the kids are forced to survive on their own, wandering the countryside while dealing with hunger, sickness, and the cold indifference of the adults around them. It's a bleak picture, where desperation hardens even the gentler people they meet. But despite it all, Seita and Setsuko refuse to give up. Their stubborn hope and connection to each other is what keeps them going through circumstances that should've broken them long ago.
