Narra la historia de Seita y Setsuko, dos hermanos huérfanos que deben sobrevivir por si mismos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tercera adaptación cinematográfica de la novela de Akiyuki Nosaka, tras la cinta de animación de Isao Takahata (1988) y la película realizada para televisión por Toya Sato (2005).
Portrait of the Wind centers on Tamio Murase, a world-traveling photographer who came home to take over the family business after his father’s fatal heart attack. One day at the family photo studio, he finds a kindred spirit in Ayako and the requisite sparks fly between them. The initial portions of the film deal with their budding romance, and it isn’t long before the two become a serious couple, and Ayako is pregnant with Tamio’s child.
