If you're preparing for a move or college admission, watch Kiki's Delivery Service

This is a story about a girl who turns off the radio when they talk about food prices because she simply isn't interested. The girl needs to decide which city she will fly to for her "witch separation year." Kiki is thirteen, and Hayao Miyazaki approaches her coming-of-age story with psychological precision.

This anime holds a special place in memory. Watching it for the first time, I decided that I too wanted to live in a city by the sea, and a couple of years later I moved to St. Petersburg.

The story shows how hard it is to find a person in the faceless crowd of a big city, explains the value of a gift, and reminds us: "there is a time for everything." Pure happiness.

The Grand Prize for best supporting role goes to Jiji, the rational-anxious inner voice of the young dreamer. Watching his feline organic movements is a delight.

In theaters from July 16, thanks to Kinomania for the re-release!
