5 Centimeters per Second
At what speed must I live to see you again?
Directed by Makoto Shinkai
Produced by CoMix Wave Films
A poignant, visually luminous meditation on lost love and the painful distance that grows between childhood friends as they move through adolescence into adulthood.
Three moments in Takaki's life: his relationship with Akari and their forced separation; his friendship with Kanae, who is secretly in love with him; the demands and disappointments of adulthood, an unhappy life in a cold city.
