The first time I heard about this film was from The Anime Man who thought was a pretty beautiful anime movie which I totally agree on his word. Reviewed by Irishchatter 5 / 10 Art was absouletely fantastic but I felt there were some pieces missing from it The story follows the relationship that evolves between the two as Erial grows up while Maquia does not. She comes across Erial, an infant mortal boy who has lost his parents, and becomes his guardian. Maquia manages to escape the destruction and chaos of war, but with no home or people, she becomes a wanderer in a dark forest. But one day, the Mesarte army invades Iolph, seeking the peoples' blood for their immortality. One resident, Maquia, feels lonely despite the peaceful and idyllic land she lives in. In the land of Iolph, all the people stop aging in their mid-teens and can live for hundreds of years.
