Part of the Heartbreakers Strand
Body
Farm boy Roma is determined to upstage the school bullies with his own spectacular fireworks display. His friend Toto is back from Tokyo, and together they are a gang, with their own makeshift clubhouse – they are the DonGlees! But when the boys are accused of starting a fire, they must travel to the nearby mountain to prove their innocence. Cue the wild adventures. In her second anime feature, Atsuko Ishizuka blends heartfelt final-summer-of-youth vibes with stunning sequences of whimsical fantasy. [15]
