The director of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars, Mamoru Hosoda returns to Japanese screens this summer with his third feature - The Wolf Children, Ame And Yuki.
Hana is a 19-year-old college student. She falls in love with a werewolf and has two children, Ame and Yuki. The four live quietly in a corner of a city, but Hana decides to move to the countryside when the father werewolf suddenly dies.
To say that expectations are high for this film is a ridiculous understatement, with many having already anointed Hosoda that natural heir to the sort of films that Studio Ghibli made at their peak. The director has his entire core creative staff on board once again for this film, which bodes well, and the first teaser has just arrived online to give the first taste. Take a look below.
