The Boy and the Heron: While the Second World War rages, the teenage Mahito, haunted by his mother's tragic death, is relocated from Tokyo to the serene rural home of his
new stepmother Natsuko, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the boy's mother. As he tries to adjust, this strange new world grows even stranger following the
appearance of a persistent gray heron, who perplexes and bedevils Mahito, dubbing him the "long-awaited one."
