Part of Hyde & Seek

College student Hana falls in love with a “wolf man” and together they have two half-human, half-wolf children, Ame and Yuki. The young family’s happy but humble life comes to an abrupt end when the father is tragically killed during a hunt. After struggling to raise her children in the busy city, Hana boldly decides to move to a dilapidated house in the countryside, in hopes that her children may one day decide their own path to happiness – whether “human” or “wolf.”

This heart-wrenching modern fairy tale is a staggering work of beauty and emotion from Academy Award®-nominated director Mamoru Hosoda. Rich with gorgeous animation and set to a poignant musical score, Wolf Children is a sweeping tale about self-discovery and the bonds of family.

On Sun 17 Aug & Tue 19 Aug, we are showing the original Japanese dialogue version (with English subtitles) and on Sat 06 Sep & Sun 07 Sep, we are showing the dubbed (English dialogue) version.

Join us from 10:30 before our Sat 06 Sep screening for a self-led, drop-in activity.
