Short description

Four-year-old Kun struggles with jealousy after his newborn sister, Mirai, begins receiving most of his family’s attention. Retreating to the garden, he encounters Mirai as a teenager from the future and embarks on extraordinary journeys across his family’s past, gradually discovering new perspectives on love, belonging and what it means to become an older brother.

What's left behind the scenes

Artist Makoto Tanijiri conceived of the family home with multiple floors and a staircase that plays a significant role in the composition. He noted that a child would be able to see the room below from the garden, while an adult would only see what is directly in front of them. Moreover, the view visible to the child will change as they grow and mature.
Director and screenwriter Mamoru Hosoda worked on the film based on his own life experience. He did not have any siblings, so the childhood jealousy that arises with the appearance of a baby in the family was something new for him. Mirai and Kun (voiced by Haru Kuroki and Moka Kamishiraishi, respectively) are directly based on Hosoda’s children.
