In wartime Japan Seito's father is at sea and his mother has been killed, leaving him to fend not only for himself, but also for his little sister, Seitsuko. Pushed away by their own selfish relatives, Seito and Seitsuko must find a way to survive in a famished and destroyed land, with only each other for support and the beautiful but unsustainable light of the fireflies. When Seitsuko begins to get ill, Seito knows he must act quickly...but can he stop the light from fading? A charming and profound anime classic exploring the intimacy of shared trauma, wartime devastation and isolation.
