The rich inner worlds of children—filled with unanswered questions and fantastical reveries—come vividly alive in Shinji Sômai’s poetic masterpiece. Trailing after the hurried footsteps of a lovably mischievous troublemaker, Moving probes the delicate passage between innocence and understanding.

In Shinji Sômai’s bittersweet coming-of-age tale, matters of life and death are made at once whimsical and profound through the eyes of children. As a gentle bond grows between generations, simple acts of care carry a transformative effect, offering a healing balm to urban loneliness and isolation.
