"An otherworldly tale of childhood and a definitive work of imagination." Empire
Hayao Miyazakii's tender, gorgeous masterpiece set deep in the Japanese countryside is back at Watershed to brighten up our summer days.
Satsuki and Mei's mother has been taken ill. In order to be closer to her while she recovers in a rural convalescent hospital, their father moves the two sisters from their home in a city to the countryside.
The house they move into is a ramshackle old place in the shadow of an ancient camphor tree, where Satsuki and Mei embark on adventures with the wondrous forest spirits who live nearby - one of which is named Totoro!
