Air: The Motion Picture

Yukito Kunisaki is a traveling performer who seeks a winged girl in the sky, a quest passed down through his family for generations to reverse a tragic fate. In a quiet seaside town, he meets a naive girl named Misuzu. Their relationship reveals a connection to a winged being named Kanna who lived a millennium earlier. Kanna was a prisoner of a castle and suffered under a curse that forbade love, a cycle of pain that Misuzu now experiences as its reincarnation.
