Princess from the Moon
Princess Kaguya came from outer space!
A tender, fantastical reimagining of a Japanese folktale where grieving farmers receive an alien child as a gift, blending wonder, family healing, and the bittersweet passage of time.
Two poor, married farmers have recently lost their only child; after a freak visitation, they pry open an alien cocoon to greet their new daughter.
