Air: The Motion Picture

Synopsis

Long ago, Kanna—a princess and the final survivor of a winged race—was locked away in a castle because the rest of the world feared her. When she met a soldier named Ryuuya, she fell in love with him and told him of her dreams to see the outside world and find her mother. Ryuuya did everything he could to make those dreams come true, but his efforts proved futile: Kanna was sealed in the sky by magic and cursed to endure pain for all eternity. Centuries later, Yukito, a descendant of Ryuuya, arrives in a quiet town one week before its annual festival, hoping to earn some money. Yet when he encounters an unusual girl named Misuzu, he remembers what his mother once told him—if he finds the winged girl's re-incarnation during his journey, he must use his power to set her free. Soon, the fates of Yukito and Misuzu become intertwined, and the two grow close and develop feelings for each other. But once Yukito realizes how Misuzu is connected to the past, he must decide whether to leave her behind or try to break the curse that has caused Kanna centuries of suffering.
