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.
