STORYLINE
In "Summer Ghost," an animated short film by illustrator and animator Loundraw, audiences are captivated by a poignant narrative that imparts valuable life lessons, all within a compact 40-minute runtime.
The film's story unfolds with the introduction of three characters: Tomoya Sugisaki, Aoi Harukawa, and Ryou Kobayashi.
Tomoya, a high school student, faces immense pressure to gain admission into a top university, despite his artistic inclinations. Aoi, in contrast, struggles with bullying at her school. Ryou's life takes a turn when a diagnosis forces him to abandon his aspirations as a basketball player. United by a shared belief that fireworks can summon the souls of the departed, these three individuals embark on a unique journey.
Their attempt to ignite the fireworks miraculously leads to the appearance of the Summer Ghost. Intriguingly, this spectral figure is only visible to those who have lost their zest for life. The trio, seeking insights and perspectives, turns to the Ghost of Summer with questions about life.
