A twenty-seven-year-old office worker travels to the countryside while reminiscing about her childhood in Tokyo.
"At the time of its release, 'Omohide poro poro' was a groundbreaking movie. After all, it was an animation, rarely used to talk about realistic dramas. Much less about women. However, and that's where the beauty of the film lies, it presents a beautiful exploration of a woman's bittersweet memories and her hopes for the future. Furthermore, after conquering the world with the devastating 'Grave of the Fireflies', it is the second feature film that the great director Isao Takahata made under the Studio Ghibli label."
