The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes in theatres from 14th July

Written by Ross Locksley on 15 Jun 2023



Sci-Fi best-seller The Tunnel to Summer, The Exit of Goodbyes will be hitting UK theatres from July 14th. Based on the light novel (KUKKA, Mei Hachimoku) the film tells the story of desire and consequences for the young cast. We had a great time with the manga adaptation and we expect the film, directed by Tomohisa Taguchi (BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War) at Studio CLAP (Pompo the Cinephile), to be every bit as good.

Showings start on July 14th and you can book tickets now.

Check out the synopsis and announcement trailer below: 

Synopsis:

One summer morning before school, Kaoru hears an unsettling rumour – of a mysterious tunnel that can grant any wish to those who enter it, but ages them dramatically in exchange. At first, he writes it off as nothing more than an urban legend, but that very night, he happens upon the same passage: the Urashima Tunnel. As he stands before its gaping maw, a thought occurs to him: if this tunnel truly does have the power to grant any wish, could he use it to bring his younger sister back from her untimely death five years prior?

Yet when he returns to explore the tunnel the next day, he finds he's been followed by the new girl in class: a total enigma by the name of Anzu. She takes an interest in Kaoru, and they agree to work together to investigate the time-twisting tunnel and uncover its mysteries. Together, they might achieve their deepest desires…but are they prepared for what it may cost them?
