Wolf Children [4k Restoration] (PG)

,Cinema 1
Wolf Children

Academy Award nominated Mamoru Hosoda brings a touching, richly drawn coming-of age animation on a single mother raising her two werewolf children.

After the tragic passing of her half-wolf partner, college student Hana moves to the countryside to raise their two half-human, half-wolf children, hoping they can navigate their own paths in life.

Newly restored in 4k earlier this year, anime auteur Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars, Belle) leverages gorgeously painted frames to discuss puberty and the challenges of single motherhood.
