Ahead of its UK theatrical release next month, a poster and trailer have arrived online for the upcoming anime feature Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms which marks the directorial debut for Mari Okada; take a look below…
The people of Iolph are known for two things: their youthful longevity and peaceful lives weaving tapestry. When that is disturbed and their home thrown into chaos by those believing that their blood gifts longer life, Maquia loses not only her friends, but a place to return to. Lost in both mind and body, she stumbles into a dark forest and happens upon Aliel, an orphaned baby boy. Together, the two embark on an emotional journey of the bond between the ageless and the mortal.
Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is out on June 27th in the UK.
