The Boy and The Heron tells the story of young boy named Mahito who yearns for his mother.

But suddenly, he ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning.

A semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death and creation, in tribute to friendship from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki.
