In 1945, as World War II comes to a close, Japan experiences widespread devastation due to American bombings that destroy city after city. The novel "Grave of the Fireflies," written by Akira Kurosawa, tells the story of Seita and Setsuko, two Japanese children who have lost their mother, father, home, and future prospects as a result of the war. Now orphaned and homeless, they must journey across the countryside, facing starvation and disease while encountering the apathy of adults along the way. Despite these hardships, Seita and Setsuko's youthful hope and resilience prevent them from succumbing to despair, shining a light on their path through the darkness.

Hotaru no Haka is based on the 1967 semi-autobiographical short story of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka, which is centered on his experiences during and after the American firebombing of Kobe in 1945, and was released as a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro.The movie has won several awards including the Japan Catholic Film Award in 1988, the Special Award in the 31st Blue Ribbon Awards in 1989, the Animation Jury and Rights of the Child Awards in the Chicago International Childrens Film Festival in 1994, and the 1st Moscow International Childrens and Youths Film Festival Grand Prix in 1998.
