In an abandoned city, a young girl cares for a large egg that she believes to be the egg of an angel. She meets a boy who alights from a peculiar chariot carrying a gun, in search of the bird he saw in his dream. It seems as if a faint sense of sympathy has developed between the two, until one night the boy decides to reveal the unknown. Praised for its haunting visuals and enigmatic worldbuilding, Oshii’s pioneering film has been celebrated as an iconic and unique piece in animation history.
