Air: The Motion Picture

Long ago, Kanna—a princess and the last survivor of a winged people—was kept confined in a castle, feared for what she was. Her world changes when she meets the soldier Ryuuya, and the two grow close as she confides her longing to see the world beyond her prison and to find her mother. Ryuuya tries to grant those wishes, but Kanna is ultimately sealed into the sky by magic, condemned to unending suffering.

Centuries later, Ryuuya’s descendant Yukito arrives in a quiet coastal town shortly before its yearly festival, hoping to earn a little money as he travels. There he meets Misuzu, a mysterious girl who stirs a memory of his mother’s words: if he ever encounters the reincarnation of the winged girl, he must use his power to free her. As Yukito and Misuzu’s bond deepens, Yukito begins to uncover her link to Kanna’s fate—and must choose between walking away or facing the curse that has endured for generations.
