“This time, I want to start at zero!”
As he said at the time when the prevue was shown, this film is his new challenge to the next step. There is a little change in the story structure of the work.. This time, we can say that it's the first time that he self-consciously organized the work with stories.
These changes in structure are hard to avoid making his fans have a feeling of expectedness and discomposure. Some people may think that “This time we will see a more excellent film than《The Voice of Distant Star》.” Another discomposure is also obviously exist that “if the style of Makoto Shinkai that we hope all the time will become dimmer?” But this time only the prevue displayed is enough to eliminate our discomposure. The girls' shy smiles and the two boys' feeling shown by their thin faces are dainty sceneries as it were. The film is full of sensibilities of Makoto Shinkai which once conquer us. Yes, this is Makoto Shinkai! The story scale of 'The place promised in our early days' is enlarged. Also this film is full of the dense style of Makoto Shinkai and let us see a more recreational world of Makoto Shinkai than the film 《The Voice of Distant Star》.
Among the clouds covering the clear blue sky, is there a promissory and adhered engagement?
Then go to the other end of the cloud.
The feelings among three adolescents, girl Sayuri, boys Hiroki and Takuya .Diffused in that summer in that junior school.
Before that summer what haunted Hiroki and Takuya was the tower among the other end clouds. The tower built by so called “union” in drama is related to Japan and America. The lonely high tower there seems the access to a parallel space. All dreams of these youngsters are the exploration on the mystery about the tower.
Working in an armoury subordinate to the nation and making an agreement with the headman on getting parts to assemble their own aircraft from the working place by which to realize their dream of probe made them proceeding bit by bit since then.
Unbelievably, the high school children did apply quantum and other sophisticated knowledge themselves.
In the “head quarter”, a disserted warehouse, they became their secret, which is namely belonging to them boys. In the whole summer, except the aircraft the two boys also care about a girl called Sayuri in their class. To them, it’s fulfilling enough to be with her and to be together.
Then Sayuri became to dream a world, a world just one person in it.
“Takuya, if... if I finally told you all, would you laugh at me?”
“I promise I wouldn’t.”
“……”
In that moist rainy day, under the whistle of the returning train and warning light outside the window, Sayuri told her own dream to Takuya.
“Have a look at our head quarter in the summer, eh?”
Here the dream embraced the third person. Go to the other side of the cloud, this is the promise of three.
So the tunes of the girl’s violin are branded on the boys’ memory.
But how to deal with the continuous dream in which the recurrent feeling of loneliness happened?
With the sudden disappearance of Sayuri, the dream had been laid aside. The engagement like the doom of a colorful bubble broke.
Four years later, in Tokyo research institution Takuya has been a professor in research mystery of the tower.
Tower, Dream, Idea, and the parallel space.
What does all mean?
It’s said that the tower extended the diameter of the parallel world, and stopped at about 10 kilometers at present. Meanwhile, the research went in block.
The disappeared Sayuri has been living in her own dream, wandering in a one-person world, bearing the three years loneness, But she still didn’t know, when she woke up, the whole world will be eroded by the parallel world originated in the tower.
The only light like a candle in the dark Sayuri could seen in dream is the white aircraft, flying to the other end of the world.
“Hiroki, world or Sayuri, which to save? If the answer is Sayuri, have you prepared?”
With no word, Hiroki began to play the violin, the familiar tune evoked that happy memory and the promise. is it still there? Go by the aircraft—Beracira.
"Takuya, I need your help.”
Sayuri who had woke up clutched Hiroki closely. Not the three years’ loneness but the miss for Hiroki in the lonely world. “There is no promised at all. There is no need for a new life.”
