One letter. One summer. A heartfelt journey between this world and the next.
In the beautifully animated film A Letter to Momo, emotions are as vivid as the landscapes. This quiet, deeply moving story follows 11-year-old Momo Miyaura, who relocates from Tokyo to a sleepy coastal village after the sudden death of her father. All she has left of him is an unfinished letter that begins with the words, “Dear Momo…”
What unfolds is a powerful coming-of-age tale that blends touching realism with mischievous fantasy. As Momo struggles with grief, guilt, and change, she begins to notice strange phenomena around her—noises in the attic, half-eaten snacks, and whispers in the wind. Enter three mischievous yokai spirits, each with their own quirks and motives, who ultimately help Momo confront her emotions and unlock the meaning behind her father’s final message.
