ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the multi-award-winning filmmaker Miyazaki comes a work originally published in 1983 and previously unpublished in Spain, which stands as an essential gem for any Miyazaki fan.
Shuna, the young heir to a hostile and barren land, spends his days watching in despair as his people work themselves to exhaustion harvesting the little grain that grows in their fields. One day, a mysterious old man arrives on his land after a long journey and, on his deathbed, tells him about some golden seeds that could restore abundance to his crops. However, he will have to pay a high price if he wants to find them, for the seeds are in the place where the moon is born and returns to die, where the earth announces its end, a place from which no one has ever returned. Shuna, hopeful at the idea of ending his peopleâ (TM)s famine, embarks on a dangerous journey to the west.
