This film is set in Tokyo during a period of nonstop rain. It tells the story of Hodaka, a boy who flees from his native island on a ferry and meets Hina, an orphan girl who lives with her younger brother. Hina has the mysterious power of clearing the sky by praying. Hodaka and Hina start a business that fulfills their clients’ requests to clear the sky for special events. The cost of this to Hina’s ability, along with the burden of people’s expectations, however, start to bring about a dramatic shift in fate for them.
The creator has adopted and further expanded motifs from earlier works, and at the same time has interwoven into the story the phenomenon of extreme weather, always a major issue in the modern world. This foray into new ground has created quite a stir.
這部電影的背景設定在東京,當時正下著連綿不斷的雨。它講述了一個男孩Hodaka的故事,他乘渡船從他的家鄉島逃離,遇到了希娜,一個和她弟弟住在一起的孤兒。希娜有一種神秘的力量,能通過祈禱一掃壞天氣。Hodaka和Hina創辦了一家公司,按照客戶要求,爲其特殊活動掃除障礙。然而,這對犧牲希娜能力的代價,以及擔負的對人們的期望,開始給他們的命運帶來戲劇性的變化。
作者採用並進一步擴展了早期作品的主題,同時也將極端天氣現象交織在故事中,這一直是現代世界的一個主要問題。此作品進軍新領域的嘗試引起了不小的轟動。
