In what may be the last spellbinding work of hand-drawn animation from the legendary Studio Ghibli, an intrepid and introverted asthmatic orphan girl is sent to a sleepy town for the summer to convalesce in the seaside air. There she meets a girl named Marnie, and the two form an instant bond. Marnie helps her recuperate in ways she didn’t know she could. But from her dated clothes to the deserted-looking mansion in which she lives, it seems there is more to Marnie than meets the eye... With simple and striking images of unequaled beauty, director Hiromasa Yonebayashi—a protégé of Hayao Miyazaki—takes you on a magical journey of discovery and friendship that will kick start your heart.
