Mitsuha lives with her little sister Yotsuha and their grandmother in a small rural town in Japan. She secretly laments her isolated existence in the provinces and longs for an exciting life in the big city. Taki would love to grow up in such a tranquil setting, because he lives in the metropolis of Tokyo, spends a lot of time with his friends and works part-time in an Italian restaurant alongside his school. One day, Mitsuha seems to have a dream in which she finds herself as a boy in Tokyo. At the same time, Taki has a similar experience: he finds himself as a girl in a small town in the mountains where he has never been before. But how did this fateful entanglement come about, and what secret really lies behind the dreams of the two teenagers?
