The 40 minute film is remarkably honest and hard-hitting search for the beauty in life, even when it’s cast over by the shadow of death. It also marks the directorial debut of 27-year old loundraw, a renowned illustrator who has recently made their name internationally as the concept visual illustrator on anime such as the romantic drama film I want to eat your pancreas, as well as Vivy: -Flourite Eye’s Song, a Sci-Fi Re:Zero.

Summer Ghost is the bittersweet story of three high school students who set out to investigate rumours of a ghost who only appears when fireworks are set off. When they finally come face-to-face with the spirit of Ayane Sato, a girl who is rumoured to have died by suicide, she tells them: “Not everyone can see me. Only those meddling with the idea of death”. Tomoya, Aoi and Ryō all have their reasons to be dissatisfied with life, but what can they learn from someone who has experienced death?

There is no official UK Trailer for the film yet, however there is a English subtitled Trailer available, here it is…
