Your name is. is a story that is made up of many elements, such as the switching of characters, the arrival of comets, Tokyo and the countryside, native traditions, and Shintoism, but at its core it is a straightforward boy meets girl story. I was very encouraged by the fact that people in Spain enjoyed this film. Thank you very much.
