Next month we will have a new Ghibli movie in Japan. Kokurikozaka Kara (コクリコ坂から, “From Kokuriko’s hill”) is the second movie directed by Goro Miyazaki after Gedo Senki.

We could say that this is the first movie made by the Miyazaki’s: father and son.
The movie is based in this manga from the 80s with the same name:
