Curious, she follows him and finds a dilapidated door standing amidst ruins deep in the mountains. Drawn by the mysterious allure of the door, Suzume reaches out to open it.
Shortly after, similar doors begin to appear all over Japan, and in order to prevent a calamity from spilling over into their world, Suzume must find a way to close these doors.

From the trailer, however, the new 2022 film looks to venture even further into fantasy, perhaps bordering on magic, as suggested by the presence of another realm behind those mysterious doors.

So far, Suzume No Tojimari has all the elements of a Makoto Shinkai film – strikingly vivid and detailed backgrounds, the signature azure blue sky, and a young girl whose fate is intertwined with that of the world’s.
11th November may be a long wait for some – and there’s likely to be an even longer wait for those of us residing outside of Japan – but from the looks of the trailer, it might just be worth it.
