Le garçon et le héron

After his mother disappears in a fire, Mahito, a young boy of 11, has to leave Tokyo to live in the countryside in the village where she grew up. He moves in with his father in an old manor house on a huge estate, where he meets a grey heron who gradually becomes his guide and helps him, as he discovers and questions, to understand the world around him and unravel the mysteries of life.
