Watch it tonight if you want sci-fi with heart and visual poetry—this is a gem about friendship and hope in a dying world, told through the lens of Japanese animation's most contemplative traditions. The premise alone (kids protecting each other in an underground Mt. Fuji colony) is haunting and original, and the central question about color and longing will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Plot

Aki isn’t a brave little boy, but he’s dedicated nonetheless to safeguarding his sickly, mute friend Fuyu. They and their little gang live deep underground, in the concrete warrens to which survivors have fled following the eruption of Mt. Fuji. The community is in decline, however, as illness and despair take their toll. Fuyu dreams of the outside world, which he is too frail to ever reach. But what colour is the sky out there?
