Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki

Today I'm gonna present you a movie that me and my roommate have come across on the internet lately :) Wolf Children is a 2012 japanese animated movie directed by Mamoru Hosoda. The main character Hana is an intelligent and pretty nineteen-year-old college student who one day meets a young mysterious man Ookami that rarely appears on her classes. The two of them fall in love immediately. After a while the man decides to reveal his true identity to Hana: he turns out to be a werewolf, the only surviving descendant of the extinct Japanese Wolf. The secret doesn't scare her away, on the contrary she appraciates how much Ookami trusts her and promises to stay with him because of the real love that connects them. A couple of months later Hana becomes pregnant. Their daughter, Yuki ('Snow'), is born at home on a snowy day. Her younger brother, Ame ('Rain'), is born a year after her on a rainy day. Not long after Ame's birth Hana's lycantrophic boyfriend dies in an accident while hunting to feed his offspring. Although devastated by the loss of her beloved, Hana doesn't give up and resolves to raise their wolf-children on her own.
Honestly i really enjoyed this movie. Hana's struggle as a lonely mother of two unusual children, her sacrifice and incredible strength in spite of all the problems she has to deal with is truly touching. The sceneries enchant by its beauty and the sad music really completes the movie:)) In my opinion it's really worth to watch:))
