This isn't a story waiting to happen, it's a moment you drift into and never want to leave. Watch two butterflies move through a world rendered so tenderly it feels like someone painted your dream the night before you woke up. There's nothing to solve, nowhere urgent to be, just the particular mercy of a film that knows beauty doesn't need a plot to matter.

Two butterflies drift through a sequence of lovely scenes in this fantasy film. There is no plot to speak of. Instead, the pair floats past a series of beautiful portrayals of people and animals, and the images carry the whole experience. Sakura: Haru no Gensou sets narrative aside and offers purely visual, artistic animation, suited to viewers who enjoy atmosphere over plot.
