Once humans and dragons were one. Then, humans chose land and sea, and dragon chose wind and fire. [Japanese release]
Something bizarre has come over the land. The kingdom is deteriorating. People are beginning to act strange... What's even more strange is that people are beginning to see dragons, which shouldn't enter the world of humans. Due to all these bizarre events, Ged, a wandering wizard, is investigating the cause. During his journey, he meets Prince Arren, a young distraught teenage boy. While Arren may look like a shy young teen, he has a severe dark side, which grants him strength, hatred, ruthlessness and has no mercy, especially when it comes to protecting Teru. For the witch Kumo this is a perfect opportunity. She can use the boy's "fears" against the very one who would help him, Ged.

This film is the directorial debut of Goro Miyazaki, son of the famedHayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. Often children of a gifted parentmentored from an early age can develop their own immense talent. Thatdoesn’t always happen and here’s a classic case of it not: GoroMiyazaki wasn’t interested in following in his father’s footsteps. Hewas first a construction worker and later curator for his father’smuseum. He only stepped into the directorial shoes at the urging ofGhibli Producer Suzuki who claims he sensed Goro’s genius and thrusthim into the role of director. Sadly, Suzuki got it very wrong.
