When Marnie Was There

Anna is a solitary schoolgirl in the big city whose asthma attacks make her foster mother decide to let her spend the summer with her aunt and uncle, who live in a house overlooking a picturesque bay in rural Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost major island. Anna loves to sketch and is especially drawn to a stunning, if dilapidated, English-style country manor, Marsh House, that can be seen on the other side of the cove. It's there that she'll finally meet the mysterious Marnie, who says she lives there even though the place looks like it hasn't been inhabited for years...
