Yokohama, 1963.

Against this backdrop of hope and change, a friendship begins to blossom between high school students Umi and Shun—but a buried secret from their past emerges to cast a shadow on the future and pull them apart.

...a light, breezy 1960s-set coming-of-age tale that strives to convey something of how Japan rebuilt itself after the traumas of the second world war.

...'Oppe på valmuebakken' [giver] et dejligt, men til tider dog også lidt sentimentalt, indblik i Japan anno 1963, der dog hovedsageligt underholder med sit indlejrede familiemysterium.

Hayao Miyazaki's søn Goro's nok bedste film, hvilket måske ikke siger så meget. Men seværdig nok.
