Mirai
Mamoru Hosoda
Kun has a happy life with his architect father and his mother, until the birth of a little sister who shakes up the established order. At the end of his garden, he escapes into a dream world... Mamoru Hosoda does not seek drama, tragedy or visual gags in a cartoon that is unique among its kind. The director prefers to interlace everyday realities with the imaginings of childhood.
