Based on Joan G Robinson's popular novel and transposed, via Japan’s legendary animators Studio Ghibli, to a sleepy seaside town in Hokkaido, Hiromasa Yonebayashi (Arrietty) tells a beguiling, bittersweet tale of a mysterious friendship.
Sent to spend the summer in a sleepy seaside town, sickly Anna (Hailee Steinfeld) befriends a curious blonde girl (Kiernan Shipka), who only she can see. The connection between them is instant, but Marnie is as elusive as a shadow and it is a friendship that is not without jealousy, tension and misunderstanding.
With characteristically exquisite hand-drawn animation, When Marnie Was There is an intimate, emotional journey into the friable quality of an adolescent girl’s self-worth.
