Suzume is described on cinema's website:
"Director Makoto Shinkai (your name., Weathering With You) is back with another astonishing adventure. Suzume's journey begins in a quiet town when she encounters a young man looking for a door. Suzume finds a single weathered door, standing upright in the midst of ruins as though it was shielded from whatever catastrophe took place. Drawn by its power, she reaches for the knob and a cataclysm of events follows. Now, Suzume must close the portals she has opened to prevent further destruction. Encounter this epic, wonderful world on Britain's largest screen."
