On the other side of the door, there was time in its entirety.
17-year-old Suzume’s journey begins in a quiet Kyushu village when she suddenly meets a young man who tells her, “I’m looking for a door.” What Suzume finds is a single weathered gate standing amidst the ruins as if protected from whatever catastrophe might strike. Seemingly mesmerized by her power, Suzume reaches for the knob…
Gates begin to open one after another throughout Japan, unleashing destruction on anyone nearby. Suzume must close these portals to prevent further disasters.
The stars
The sunset
the morning sky
Within that realm, it was as if all time had melted into the sky.Drawn by this mysterious gate, Suzume’s journey is about to begin.
