Synopsis

From Studio Ghibli, the team that brought you SPIRITED AWAY and HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE, comes TALES FROM EATHSEA, which marks the directorial debut of Goro Miyazaki, son of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki (SPIRITED AWAY).

Based on the unique series of books by Ursula Le Guin, this enchanting story takes place in a fantasy world of dragons and wizards. A ship is tossed by a raging sea and two dragons appear from the storm clouds, only to devour each other. This is seen to be a terrible omen that the very balance of the world is collapsing and sets Sparrowhawk, a wizard, on his quest to find the source of the evil forces that are shaking the world.
