Following war orphans Seita and Setsuko, it delves into themes of survival amidst tragic circumstances. While it is a critically acclaimed animated film, viewers should prepare for an emotionally challenging experience.
Unlike many Ghibli movies, the 1989 film directed by Isao Takahata isn't exactly suitable for the whole family. Rated PG-13 due to blood and gore, this dark journey is set during the final days of World War II in Japan.
Grave of the Fireflies centers around 14-year-old Seita and his four-year-old sister Setsuko, war orphans struggling to survive in the Japanese countryside food shortages, abusive relatives, and bombing raids by the Allied forces.
