Synopsis
Suzu is a quiet, ordinary girl, though slightly clumsy and prone to daydreams, growing up on the outskirts of Hiroshima in the mid-1930s. She has a natural talent for sketching with pencils. In 1943, following her parents' arrangement, the 18-year-old Suzu marries a young man in the neighboring city of Kure, which houses a major naval base where he works as a civilian secretary for the military tribunal. There, she encounters a new life and family while facing numerous challenges and hardships, especially as conditions deteriorate due to the Pacific War. Despite this, Suzu manages to find happiness and peace in her daily routine. The film's concept aims to present the perspectives of "several more lives" alongside Suzu's, necessitating a new title to reflect this expanded theme and allowing for the adaptation of additional scenes from the manga. These new sequences include Suzu crossing paths with Rin in the fall of 1944, as well as during the winter and spring of 1945; Rin appears prominently in the new visual and video. Another added segment focuses on the Makurazaki Typhoon of September 1945, during which Suzu worries for her younger sister, Sumi.
