Anyone know the plot?


I was reading about Juno Reactor and it said that he was providing the music for this film so now I'm dying to know it's plot. Any info would be great...

Wataru, age 10 , is nothing but an ordinary boy. Everything started when his father confessed that he had another lover, and left his family to live with her for good. His mother, not being able to handle the shock, attempts a suicide.

My life can't be like this...

"On the top of the deserted building, above the stairs, stands a door that can change a destiny. A child like you wouldn't make it though." He rememberd he heard something like this from his classmate, Mitsuru.

"Even if so -- "


Behind the door awaits the fantasy world of blade, magic, "Vision"

roughly translated from wikipedia and the official webpage.

so it's generally a story of a young boy who desires to change his life to get his family back to peace.

Indeed Juno Reactor wrote an original orchestral score for the movie. The soundtrack is released in Japan by Epic Records (Sony) on 5th July along with the PS2/PSB/DS game releases. The movie is released in Japan on the 8th July.
As for the plot check the animators website http://www.gdh.co.jp/english/news/20040629.html
It is a great movie with an even greater soundtrack!

The movie is based on a book by Miyuki Miyabe. It is rather a long book but I absolutely loved it. Sort of imagine all 7 Harry Potter books in one volume, but edited nicely, and completely Japanese in character (and of course a different story, but a similar vibe). My local library actually had the book and I live in the middle of nowhere, so check yours!
