Another great creation from Studio Ghibli! The cartoon's synopsis: "The story is set in 1963 in Yokohama. Kokuriko Manor sits on a hill overlooking the harbour. A 16 year-old girl, Umi, lives in that house. Every morning she raises a signal flag facing the sea. The flag means 'I pray for safe voyages'. A 17 year-old boy, Shun, always sees this flag from the sea as he rides a tugboat to school. In preparation of next year's Tokyo Olympics, people are destroying the old and believing only in the magnificence of the new. In that time, at a high school in Yokohama, a small struggle occurred. The building of the Culture Club, nicknamed Quartier Latin, is old but full of history and memories. Should it be destroyed or preserved?"
