Love can create a family. Letting go helps it grow.
Experience the beautiful and deeply moving Wolf Children, from acclaimed director Mamoru Hosoda, the filmmaker behind Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
College student Hana falls in love with a mysterious young man who carries an extraordinary secret—he is the last descendant of the Japanese wolf people.
Together they have two children, Yuki and Ame, who inherit their father’s ability to transform between human and wolf.
When tragedy suddenly leaves Hana to raise the children alone, she moves her family from the crowded city to a quiet home in the countryside, hoping to give Yuki and Ame the freedom to discover who they truly are.
As the children grow older, however, each begins moving toward a very different future—one drawn toward the human world and the other increasingly called toward the wild.

Wolf Children starts with a fantastical idea—a woman raising two children who can transform into wolves—but underneath it is something wonderfully human.
It’s about raising children knowing that, eventually, they have to decide who they are for themselves.
Beautiful, funny, bittersweet, and an absolute heart-stealer. 🐺🌿
