Subscribe FreeBased on the novel by Akiyuki Nosaka, Grave Of The Fireflies is a film that shows, as gently as possible, the effect that war has on the innocence of children. The story takes place in 1945 Kobe, Japan, just after the allied forces dropped atomic bombs and firebombs on their cities. Many of the children were left orphaned and homeless including 14-year-old Seita and his four-year-old sister Setsuko who are the focus of this story. (Laurie Sevano)
