Mai Mai Shinko to Sennen no Mahou

In rural Japan during the 1950s, Shinko fills the fields around her home with visions of the people who lived there a thousand years earlier. When shy Kiiko arrives from Tokyo, Shinko finds a new companion for her games and flights of imagination.

Adventures with the neighborhood children bring them closer, while stories of the distant past suggest the life of another girl across the centuries. Beneath their bright days lie loneliness and losses they are only beginning to understand, giving their friendship an importance beyond play.
