Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

風の谷のナウシカ

Synopsis

A thousand years after the Seven Days of Fire destroyed civilization, surviving humans live on the edge of a toxic forest swarming with giant insects. Nausicaä, princess of the small Valley of the Wind, is a skilled pilot who feels compassion for all living things and refuses to see the insects as enemies. Crisis comes when the neighbouring kingdom of Tolmekia, led by Princess Kushana, invades the valley and tries to revive a deadly weapon from the ancient war.
