Ruka’s dad is so absorbed in his studies at the aquarium that he hardly notices when she befriends Umi and Sora. Like the 14-year-old Ruka, the mysterious duo has the unique ability to hear the call of the sea and its endangered creatures. Together, can they save them?

Children of the Sea - a vivid eco-conscious adventure with stunning animation and a wonderful score - takes us on a visually dazzling, mind-bending aquatic mystery. The film is adapted from an acclaimed manga series by Daisuke Igarashi.

Filmography: Space Brothers (2014), Doraemon the Movie (2006).
