The visual features an abandoned door, standing in water in the center of ruins, referring to the film’s central theme, ‘closing doors.’

The story will follow a 17-year-old girl named Suzume who meets a young man searching for a mysterious door.

Intrigued by this, Suzume helps him, and they find a stranded door in the ruins of a mountain. What they didn’t know was that behind it were several disasters from another world.

This brings us to the film’s other themes: the road and adventure. Shinkai describes this film as an adventure tale with a road trip around Japan as Suzume tries to close all doors that have opened around the country.

If we go in-depth, all these aspects of the movie and the plot symbolize growth, cutting off loose ends, and getting closure. Suzume is just another teen who goes through a lot and grows up learning from those experiences.

Generally, Shinkai’s films follow the plot of putting a whole town or a country in danger and having teenagers run around to solve the crisis.

So I think the upcoming movie will have the same romantic-comedy theme that starts wholesome but gradually takes us on an emotional rollercoaster ride.

I just know that this film will also gently take my heart, play with it, and then crush it while breaking it into a billion pieces, as Shinkai’s films always do that to you.

But I will watch it anyway, because who doesn’t like to suffer :’).
