Description
In what he has proclaimed will be his final film, Oscar-winning director and Studio Ghibli co-founder Miyazaki fictionalizes the youth and young adulthood of one of his personal idols: Jiro Horikoshi, designer of the Mitsubishi Zero fighter plane. Jiro’s experiences as a University student and as a burgeoning aeronautical engineer are juxtaposed with fantasy sequences where he is mentored by an Italian named Caproni.
