The synopsis for the film reads:
The summer of his high school freshman year, Hodaka runs away from his remote island home to Tokyo, and quickly finds himself pushed to his financial and personal limits. The weather is unusually gloomy and rainy every day, as if to suggest his future. He lives his days in isolation, but finally finds work as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day, Hodaka meets Hina on a busy street corner. This bright and strong-willed girl possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky...
GKIDS will theatrically release the film nationwide on January 17th, 2020 following special nationwide fan preview screenings through Fathom Events on January 15th and January 16th, 2020. The film has already become the #1 local film at the Japanese box office for 2019, and was Japan's official selection for the Best International Feature category at the Academy Awards.
