Here we are offered a new trailer for the film The Deer King from Masashi Ando, which has been an animator for films such as Your Name, Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, Paprika and Spirited Away.
The film’s plot is based on a series of different fantasy books by Nahoko Uehashi that follow a former soldier who has to take him on a girl in a world where war and plague have made life difficult for humanity.
In the aftermath of a brutal war, former soldier Van toils in a mine controlled by the ruling empire. One day, his solitary existence is upended when a pack of wild dogs carrying a deadly and incurable disease attack, leaving only Van and a young girl named Yuna as survivors. Finally free, the pair seek out a simple existence in the countryside but are pursued by nefarious forces. Intent on protecting Yuna at all costs, Van must uncover the true cause of the plague ravaging the kingdom — and its possible cure.
The film had its Japanese cinema premiere earlier this year and will begin to be released internationally during the summer.
