The popular actress Setsuko Sakurazaki (Shima Iwashita), in the middle of shooting a film where she plays the mother of a dying child, finds out that she herself has cancer and less than half a year to live.

Based on a 1967 children's book by British writer Joan G. Robinson. Anna (voiced by Sara Takatsuki), an unhappy 12-year-old orphan who calls her kindly adoptive mother "aunt," and Marnie (Kasumi Arimura), an outgoing, if mysterious, blonde-haired girl become friends while Anna is spending a summer on the Hokkaido coast with her mother's relatives. It quickly becomes apparent, however, that Marnie is not what she seems and that the story will be more than an ode to budding female friendship. (japantimes.co.jp)
