Suzume’s journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu (southwestern Japan) when she meets a young man who tells her, “I’m looking for a door.” What Suzume finds is a single weathered door standing amidst the ruins when she would be safe from any catastrophe. Seemingly drawn to his power, Suzume reaches for the doorknob… Across Japan, doors open one by one, bringing destruction upon anyone nearby.
