About Weathering with You
Weathering with You (Japanese: Tenki no Ko, 2019) is a fantasy romance by Makoto Shinkai. Hodaka Morishima meets Hina Amano, a girl who can briefly clear the sky — but at a cost linked to a shrine and the city’s balance. The movie explores themes of agency, sacrifice, climate anxiety and love against a detailed Tokyo backdrop. The soundtrack is by RADWIMPS, with vivid urban imagery and rain‑soaked atmospherics.
