It is a road trip movie around the country of Japan, it’s a story about “closing doors” rather than opening them, and it’s a reason to visit the movie theater. The two end up going on a mysterious journey which leads to doors all around Japan opening and bringing trouble from the other side.Īccording to Anime News Network, Shinkai stated that there are three important points about the film. The two travel to the mountains and find a mysterious door surrounded by ruins. Suzume no Tojimari follows a 17-year-old girl from a quiet town in Kyushu, one day she comes across a young man looking for a door. Shinkai went on to describe the film as a modern adventure story, an action film, and a road movie.
