But try as they might, something more daunting than distance prevents them.

When a dazzling comet lights up the night's sky, something shifts, and they seek each other out wanting something more a chance to finally meet. They build a connection and communicate by leaving notes, messages, and more importantly, an imprint. This bizarre occurrence continues to happen randomly, and the two must adjust their lives around each other. Mitsuha wakes up in Taki's body, and he in hers. But one night, they suddenly switch places. High schoolers Mitsuha and Taki are complete strangers living separate lives. The day the stars fell, two lives changed forever.

From director Makoto Shinkai, the innovative mind behind Voices of a Distant Star and 5 Centimeters Per Second, comes a beautiful masterpiece about time, the thread of fate, and the hearts of two young souls.
