In 1945 Kobe, fourteen-year-old Seita tries to keep his four-year-old sister Setsuko alive after they're orphaned in the American firebombing raids. Grave of the Fireflies is an antiwar film that never shows a battle: it shows what war produces — two children alone, hungry, and loving each other with everything they have while the adults around them choose survival over compassion. Studio Ghibli's most devastating film and one of the most powerful antiwar statements in cinema history. Watch it once, carry it forever.
