A masterpiece by makoto shinkai
Makoto Shinkai, known for his poignant works, has once again made his mark with “Suzume.” This film deals with migration and the tragedies experienced by the Japanese after the explosion of the Fukushima power plant.
While “Your Name” remains his greatest success, “Suzume” is no exception. This film managed to win several prestigious awards, thus confirming Shinkai's place among the greats of animation.

Awards and distinctions
“Suzume” was nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Animated Feature category, alongside such top titles as “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.” However, it lost to Miyazaki's “The Boy and the Heron.”
The film also marks the return of Japanese animation to the Berlinale, a first since “Spirited Away” in 2002. The success of “Suzume” is a testament to Shinkai's lasting impact on the industry.
