This screening features a recorded introduction by Dr. Jonathan Clements.
Three young women in modern-day Japan are all at crossroads in their lives. Mire Yoshizuki is 27, career-oriented and returning from a stint overseas; Sora Nagase is 22, a student under pressure from her parents to become a teacher; and Reika Kawatani, just 20, is a freelancer with a thieving, troublemaker boyfriend. The three are brought together by chance, and united by a love of 'magical girl' anime series Magical Doremi – and when they decide to travel together to places with special significance in the show, they rediscover the importance of things they forgot as they grew into adults.
