Wow, it has been eleven years since acclaimed director Hiroyuki Okiura last directed the anime classic, JIN-ROH: THE WOLF BRIGADE back in 1999. Other than ghost-directed the opening scene for COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE in 2001, he's hardly direct any other feature ever since. But next year, he'll be back with his second full-length feature entitled A LETTER TO MOMO. Now check out the teaser trailer below (sorry, no English subtitle is available).
In the meantime, here's the synopsis for A LETTER TO MOMO (via Twitch):
Momo is a young girl who grew up in a big city. However, following the premature loss of her father, she has to move with her mother to the old family house on a remote island. Here, time seems to have stopped: old wooden buildings, holy shrines surrounded by trees, fields painstakingly carved out from steep hills... and no shopping mall.
Needless to say, Momo is not too overenthusiastic about this new environment. Most of all, her heart is still feeling uneasy about an unfinished letter left by her father. A letter that contained only two words: "Dear Momo..."
