Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms
Join the Japan Information and Culture Center and enjoy this touching movie.
Directed by Mari Okada (Anthem of the Heart) with music by Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell, Ring), it tells the story of the people of Iorph who live far away from the lands of men. A disaster arrives in Iorph and Maquia survives and moves on, leaving behind friends. She starts a new journey and rescues an orphaned baby. This is a story of irreplaceable time, woven by two lonely people who can only find solace in each other. Watch it online from July 30 thru August 2.
