Animezing! | Goodbye Don Glees

Presented by the Japan Information & Culture Center, Embassy of Japan

Our next Animezing! film is the coming-of-age drama Goodbye, Don Glees!
Drawn together by their shared joy of backwoods adventures and summer hijinks, teen misfits Roma, Toto, and Drop nicknamed themselves the “Don Glees.” When the trio gets blamed for a nearby forest fire, they set off into the woods to prove their innocence. As their journey faces unexpected trouble and tensions flare between the three friends, they realize that growing up has taken them down wildly different paths in life.
Director ISHIZUKA Atsuko follows up her critically acclaimed series A Place Further Than the Universe with her first original feature film. With luminescent animation and lush backdrops, Goodbye, Don Glees! is a tender story about the fearlessness of being young and the bittersweet journey of self-discovery.
