The film’s plot centers around 17-year-old Suzume, who encounters a mysterious man searching for a door. Suzume finds the door and opens it, leading more doors across Japan to open and wreak havoc. Suzume must amend her mistake and close the doors once again.

In a press release for the film, Shinkai highlighted that the film is a Japanese road trip movie that is more about “closing doors” than opening them.

The trailer, released April 10, keeps a lot under wraps, but it is beautifully animated.

Shinkai’s “Your Name” and “Weathering with You” have become cultural phenomenons, with “Your Name” inspiring fashion trends and “Weathering with You” inspiring a scooter craze after breaking records to become one of the biggest animated box office successes of all time.

“Your Name” is also getting a live-action remake from J.J. Abrams that is expected to be a Western interpretation of the original. A writer on the project said that Japanese producers want to see a Western version. Korean American Lee Isaac Chung is the lead writer on the project.

“Suzume no Tojimari” is scheduled for release in Japanese theaters on November 11th. A worldwide release date has not yet been announced.
