Takao, who is training to become a shoemaker, skipped school and is sketching shoes in a Japanese-style garden. He meets a mysterious woman, Yukino, who is older than him. Then, without arranging the times, the two start to see each other again and again, but only on rainy days. They deepen their relationship and open up to each other. But the end of the rainy season soon approaches...

Another beautiful piece from Makoto Shinkai, every second of this movie is filled with stunning visuals, just like 5 Centimeters Per Second but a little bit shorter at 45 minutes. Either way, this is a good film with a lot of symbolism in it. Analyzing it will help you throughout, but the main premise of the movie is pretty good by itself. The ending before the credits is executed perfectly in every aspect, and be sure to watch AFTER the credits for the true ending.
